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.

I would recommend you just read the guidelines on the site which request that you submit your domain. It is recommended that you put a link to your site map on your homepage.

Hi Tim,
Could you plz answer this for me.
Is Inktomi Slurp same as Yahoo Slurp? My webstats show Inktomi Slurp daily crawls my site but my webstats do not show Yahoo Slurp crawling my site. However, I do get traffic from yahoo & my pages are in the yahoo search results but I get no visits from yahoo slurp. Should I do something about this?
Thanks an advance,
donstar

I've had my site indexed in Yahoo for a long time, but have recently (last three months) added substantial new content. How long should it take for new content to be indexed? Do I submit the homepage to the free submit option to stimulate a deep crawl of the site?

Donstar,
Are you sure you are being visited by Inktomi slurp? I would not think so but please send us an example of your log files to the webmasterworldfeedback address.
Thanks,
Tim

John Caius,
I would just be patient and we should pick up the new content soon. Since we know about your site already I do not think the freeaddurl will help.
