[osujit]

Hello,
My domains are well indexed in google and MSN.
My sites also have good back links around 5,000 BL
But its get only one page indexed in yahoo...
Can somebody tell me what are the possible reasons for this…

Assuming your site is new, this is quite a common problem with Yahoo. They're not very good at indexing new sites, often only indexing the homepage, even if you have external links to internal pages.

Best thing to do is to make sure you've got other sites linking to your site, then wait for the next Yahoo update when you'll probably get fully indexed.

I've seen *mega* sites have this same problem - sites with massive IBL's and deep internal links that deserve indexing (and are not mine or have anything to do with me - they just really deserve indexing). Most times the issue takes care of itself and other times, it doesn't - IME.

From the link above "Yahoo Search Sumit Your Site"

"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."

"You can also provide the location of a text file containing a list of URLs, one URL per line, say urllist.txt. We also recognize compressed versions of the file, say urllist.gz."

Is this too good to be true? A free, simple feed of massive quantity of a sites pages/urls. Does anyone have comments on this?

Thank you for replies..
My site is doing well in Google, MSN ...
Its not a very new site...
Is “urllist.txt” the only solution or do I need to include the site on the Yahoo Directory?

Try submitting the url text file first and see how that works. And be sure to report back and let us know.

Ok
Thanks "martinibuster"
I will let you know what is the impact of the urllist file...
