Does Yahoo list 'mini sites'?

Mines only two pages (with no scrolling)

I've spent a while checking out the Yahoo submission FAQs. I've had success listing various entertainment sites in Yahoo, but am not sure about another one we have which is basically only two pages long.

It is a quality website which took several (long) days to construct. Its aim is to offer our network of websites for sale.

I'm kind of confused. I believe Yahoo requires sites with substantial original content. Does a two page blurb about the sites we have for sale qualify do you think? I have looked through the relevant sections in Yahoo, but most of the sites are fairly large.

I know it is difficult for anyone to advise me without providing the URL here, but I don't want to be accussed of spamming :)

Thank you...

One of their criteria for listing is 'substantial unique content' as you mentioned.

If the site's aim is to provide information on other sites, links to them, etc, and a purchase price (which information about what sites is not available in Yahoo currently) then imho, that is unique content.

However, to be safe, you might create a few 'dummy pages' to make it look a bit more like a company web site, etc. Faq, about, contact, privacy, etc...and then coupled with the 2 pages you have, you've now got 6.

I've had much success getting Yahoo to list sites with only 5 pages of content. :)

Hi 1Lit,

I wouldn't ris submitting a 2 page site. Maybe you can create 5-10 pages of dummy text, like Jeremy suggested, and include it in the site in order to reduce the chance of being rejected. Once the site is listed, you can remove all the extra text.

However, before submitting, you may want to wait given the latest changes we've seen from Yahoo.
