Submit to Yahoo UK and US at the same time?

With free submission method?

[1Lit]

We have a UK health site which has articles and reports that might be suitable to a global audience.

I have submitted it to Yahoo UK via the free method, but it might be months if and when they get around to having a look at it.

Therefore, I was wondering if it's possible to submit to Yahoo.com at the same time? It would then give us two bites of the cherry :)

Would they know about each submissions to each other's directories? Is this allowed?

Thank you very much :)

Hi 1lit

Stop..don't submit to both. If you get into Yahoo UK your site will also be seen on the US version so don't worry about that. Also it costs a lot to submit to the US version whereas the UK is free. Just make sure your site meets Yahoo's criteria and you should be OK. Wish you all the best. It took less than 1 month for Yahoo to include us recently so just sit back and wait you'll be fine.

Further to above I just check ed your site and I think you may have problems getting included for the following reasons

1) Your site has no navigation structure, its all on one page with out going links

2) Do you have unique content that you wrote and that isn't already available via other sites?

3) Its a bit homepagey looking. You need to spruce it up a bit

Could I suggest that you place a few buttons at least and split that one page into 10+ smaller pages linked to from the first page.

uk_dokey, thank you for your remarks and the warning! However, I have no intention of submitting the site in my profile to Yahoo yet. It is amateur looking and needs major work doing to it which we can commence on, now that we have completed our other site - that is the one we are hoping to get included in Yahoo.

I hope they don't consider it to be a commercial site and ask us to pay for a submission, as it has a few affiliate links.

Thanks once again for your opinion :)
