When submitting my site (I'm going on trying to do this for 3 last days) I have the reply from yahoo server-side script:
"There was a problem with your submission:
The following resulted when trying to access your document:
Request Timeout
Common mistakes include:
Misspelling of the host or path
Improper URL syntax."
I tried to replace the URL with
upper and lower case versions and www.example.com vs example.com, but the results were the same - negative!
I read at the [
help.yahoo.com...] that the problem can be because of slow connection to the Internet. I asked my friend to submit my site - he has extremely fast cable connection - and he tried to do this 4 times, but
the results were the same. I have cleared the memory cache on my browser - and again the same result. I have looked at the logs files and see that yahoo server even did not try to HEAD (GET or POST) my site, i.e. the form submission failed at the yahoo server.
I tried to connect to their staff via [
add.yahoo.com...] , but it looks as if it failed too: no ticket number or like that.
May the reason be that the server filter by country the enrolling or it think my domain is wrong because it has "-" sign in it - I once saw a site that did not accept sites which domains had "-" or "_" signs in it?
