Non profit sites and Y!

How long to get in?

[Nick_W]

Hi all,

How long should I expect to wait to get a non-profit medical related site into Yahoo.com?

Is it the same as ODP... luck of the draw?

Thanks...

I got a listing within days, judging by a few others who have posted on the subject - on the whole they may be quicker than DMOZ - depends on the site aswell though :)

Wow, I have a non-profit that I've submitted at least 5 times and it's never made it in.

I guess it depends on the category, probably my category doesn't have any active editors.

Nick, I suggest you submit and re-submit every 2 weeks, until you get listed. After 2 months, it's worth revising your code.

Good luck!

Thanks guys, much obliged ;)

Guess I'll give it a shot and see what happens...

Nick_W, try the regional Yahoo's first.
The listings get added in quicker and you get listed in the .com after that.

But it's an english language site? Am I missing something here?

My results have been spotty.
Sometimes in days. Not recently. I've been submitting once a week for the last couple weeks. Apparently, Y! empties their queue on a regular basis, so you gotta keep submitting in hopes you're close to the head.

I've had the free submissions sites either accepted within a few weeks or not at all. A few weeks ago I had site entered into Yahoo that I didn't even submit. That was a nice surprise. I've never, ever had that happen before.

Regional list first, at Yahoo.
