Since yahoo is one of the most Popular Search Engine. So it can bring a high traffic to your site. To get listed in yahoo search you have to add your URL to Yahoo search. Yahoo has both paid and free submission option you may choose any one according to your requirements. You may even add you XML feed and all URLs using a text file. Generally they take 6 week to get listed but it varies depending on your site. Initially yahoo will crawl only few pages of your site then you will find that more pages are getting listed in yahoo. If you site is in yahoo directory then you need not to do all this things. To add URL You must have a Yahoo ID.
I dont agree with you on this. Yes thats definitely true. Are you talking about Yahoo directory then yes. Search engine does not have any paid submission offer. Thats better known as sitemaps Yup Thats with every search engine Again I dont agree with you on this. Thats also not true.
Just wondering how many webmasters bother and perhaps more importantly, how many people use Yahoo as their fave or primary SE?
For me, i would not pay a $199 to get listed on yahoo... However, i always submit for yahoo web directory as a free submission..
