Another question: How does yahoo pages from a website? Do they send any kind of robots to scan the pages like other SEs do? Or they just reply on the title (is that web page title?) and description which appears on the directory listing?
Thanks in advance for all the comments.

No, it is a directory, not a crawler.

They rely on the title that was given to your site at the time it was submitted. It isn't necessarily what appears in your <title> tags (although the editors look at that when giving a title to a site).
