Automated Y! Submissions

Any tools avail?

[johnser]

So you register, log in & then you do the free submit.

Based on our logs to date, Slurp is finding us but not as well as Googlebot so we're submitting all 1,000 pages on one site to Yahoo's free submit form.

Are there any tools that speed up this process? My hands are getting a bit sore ;)

(Sticky is good too)

So you want to submit each page on your site to yahoo?

They might consider it as spamming....

I would just wait and let them crawl.
And make sure the server is fast and has a low response-time.
(Google backs off when a server responds slow, a possible indication of a server wich has a heavy load).

I don't know any tools for that.

You could submit a sitemap... (and let them find the rest...)

Not sure I'd use any automated tools or that I'd even submit my entire site through the free ADD URL tool.

Tim posted elsewhere that it's a bad idea to auto submit. Also, it's early days for the free add url and we're not sure how it works. I myself am testing first by submitting a couple of low profile sites to see what happens.

>>>Not sure I'd use any automated tools ... to ... submit my entire site

I know its new 2_much & we've no idea yet how it works, but what would you be afraid of?

Slurp seems far less agressive at crawling than Gbot so would it not be an idea to give it a helping hand at this stage?

Any clues (from Pubcon or other) as to why Tim said that?

And finally, should one want to risk it, where might they find a good script to assist them ;)

Thx
