Yahoo site description - request for help

[timbo]

I'm about to submit my site to Yahoo for the first time. Can anyone see any problems with the following :

title : gerontius concert diary

url : [gerontius.net...]

description : choirs and choral concerts throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland searchable by date, location and type of choir

category : [uk.dir.yahoo.com...]

I should submit to Yahoo UK, right?

thanks for any comments

Tim

Hi tim, welcome to the boards. We usually don't give individual advice since this board would be quickly flooded with requests. However, if you follow a few simple guidelines, you should be OK.

1) Use the name of your company/site as the title
2) Don't expect yahoo to give you the description you want :)

Yahoo butchers...I mean "streamlines" descriptions to very basic elements so often times most keywords don't get included. Your current description is great for ODP or LookSmart but the chances are slim Yahoo will give it to you. However, stranger things have been known to happen.

It's already listed in the ODP. (It did get trimmed a bit...)

Thanks for the helpful replies. Actually the ODP one has been there some time. I thought I'd take my time over Yahoo and try to do a bit better. We'll see!
