Yahoo! (www.yahoo.com)
You can submit your URL to Yahoo! Search for free here: http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request (note: you need to register at their portal first) and it will be indexed in about 1-2 months.
Yahoo! is still the most popular site on the Web, according to its traffic rank reported by Alexa (www.alexa.com). Nevertheless, in terms of the number of searches performed Google carries the day.
Yahoo! provides results in a number of ways. First, it has one of the most complete directories on the Web. There’s also Yahoo! Search, which lists results in a way similar to other crawler-based engines. Here, in this section on crawler-based engines, we deal with the second service.
Sponsored results are found at the top, side, and bottom of the search results pages fed by Yahoo!. Yahoo! now owns its Yahoo! Search Marketing pay engine and provides search results to AltaVista, AllTheWeb and Lycos.
The search results at Yahoo! changed in February 2004. For the previous couple of years, Google was their search-results supplier. Nowadays, Yahoo! is using its own database. Yahoo! bought engines that had earlier pioneered the search world, Yahoo! Search officially provides all search engines acquired through these acquisitions with its own results. Therefore, when you optimize your Web pages for Yahoo!, there’s a good chance of appearing in the top results of other popular search engines, such as AllTheWeb and AltaVista.
To find out if Yahoo’s spider has visited your site, search the following information in your server logs. Their crawler is now called Yahoo Slurp (formerly, it was just Slurp). For each request from ‘Yahoo! Slurp’ user-agent, you can start with the IP address (i.e. 74.6.67.218). Then check if it really is coming from Yahoo! Search using the reverse DNS lookup. The name of all Yahoo! Search crawlers will end with ‘crawl.yahoo.net,’.
