Yahoo! Search Launches AddURL

http://submit.search.yahoo.com/

[Tim]

As promised at Pubcon the free ADDURL has been launched on the Yahoo! site. It is only available right now directly at: [submit.search.yahoo.com...]
You need to log into Yahoo.com to use this service.

This URL will be linked to from the search pages shortly.

Whoo hooo! Thanks Tim!

[walkman]

looks great.

[operafan]

So the sitematch thing is already in operations?

Wow, so when can we expect an update from Yahoo of their recently crawled sites? :)

[cyberfyber]

So I'm presuming that something should be mentioned in respect to sites previously within Yahoo?

Or should everyone just go ahead and submit just in case?

[Tim]

Operafan: This is not SiteMatch. This is a utility to add urls to the free crawl.

[cindysunc]

Is there a limit to how many we can add? Will this be a permanent link at Yahoo or is this for a limited time? Thanks.

[operafan]

Thanks Tim, also on topic, just got a newsletter stating that Yahoo will no longer develop further ATW & Alta, will use them only as experiments for yahoo search.
Will we expect an updated database and usual crawls from those 2 soon to defunct SE's?

Trying to submit web site to submit.search.yahoo.com I got this message:

Your submission request was not accepted because:
The following resulted when trying to access your document: timeout
Please correct and resubmit the form below.

What does that mean and how I can correct this if my web site working well?

Thanks for letting us know Tim.

I just tested submitting a few URL's, let's see if/when theyt get indexed.

>timeout Please correct and resubmit the form below.

same here, I think Yahoo may have opened the floodgates a bit to wide, I'm going to try again later

[steveb]

The Holy Grail here.

I'm not a big fan of that only submit root domains instruction though. Site maps exist for good reason.

March 4th
Test Domain, six months old -- main page has few dozen backlinks, including the three largest directories

10 pages currently in Yahoo
103 not yet in Yahoo

Stay tuned.

Tried submitting a few url's on different hosts, but still getting:

[onfire]

Thanks Tim, seemed to work for me, lets see how it goes...

[Alleks]

It seems that it's working for me too.

[creative craig]

Looks like it is working now, just play the waiting game and see what happens :)

yeehh..... i try several times to submit a new URL and here is the answer
"Your submission request was not accepted because:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enter the full URL, including the http:// prefix (for example, [yahoo.com)...] of the site you would like to submit. Enter only the top-level page in your site, our crawler will explore the rest of your site from there. We will automatically detect and remove dead links on an ongoing basis.

Please expect a delay of several weeks before your URL is crawled. "

c.......pppp.....
I LOVE GOOGLE

I have not been on the add url screen on Google for a while, but if I remember it says pretty much the same type of thing.

Whats wrong with what Yahoo have put?

[Krapulator]

>>The following resulted when trying to access your document: timeout

Its not working for me either.

[vaniaul]

Wow thats great ya, Even I successfully added 4 URLs to yahoo, successfully! Yipeeee

[MarkHutch]

I just used this feature. Grabed the page instantly from IP: (66.94.230.107). That's great. Reminds me of the old Infoseek in that respect!

[textex]

Do we need to submit sites that are already indexed and ranking well?

[george123]

yeehh it works now.

[Aman]

Tim, will the free submit be up for this week only, as you said in another thread?
”We will also be launching free URL submission during the week of 3/1.”

[helenp]

for me don´t work...........
keep on trying
suppose to many submitting

[ritch_b]

Given that this new submit page will - for want of a better description - be getting hammered, errors are to be expected!

Right now though, I'm seeing the success page more than I'm seeing the timeout page - patience is called for people! :)

[DaveN]

Nice Tim, But you guys are crawling our sites so much at the moment I'm scared you are going to suck the server down the fiber line ;)

Tim one question "time scales" how quick from Add Url -> spider -> crawl -> Index.... or are you going to make me work it out.

DaveN

[Good_Vibes]

I get a timeout when I submit [yahoo.com...]

LOL

[twebdonny]

Timeout all the way for me too.

[twebdonny]

Hahaha, so many people hammering the url submission that they are barely posting on here this morning.
