My site for some reason is not being indexed by Yahoo, or so it seems. I only have about 60 pages which Google indexes pretty much all of them. When I use the seo-guy saturation tool, I see Yahoo at 0.

I recently paid to have my site included in the directory, which it was (about 2 months ago now) - it's under http://dir.yahoo.com/Business_and_E...ames/Retailers/

(I'm Games-for-less)

Before I had a couple pages listed in Yahoo, but they were old...it seems the old ones were dropped, but no new pages appear indexed in Yahoo. Now I know that paying into the directory does not mean you'll get crawled by yahoo, however, I have a legitimate small site that should be showing up there. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong in my code or something that is blocking, or am I just too impatient?

When I search on my url at yahoo, It shows some results for my site...so are they indexed and just not shown in the tool? I fell like I have a plan with google, and I'm making progress...but Yahoo is a mystery to me...any advice is greatly appreciated.

Aviken, you're right about the directory inclusion having no impact. The best solution for getting newer sites indexed in Yahoo from my experience is to get a single high PR link pointing there. Otherwise it's a matter of good luck and patience.

Thanks.

How high of PR? I know of 1 PR6 & atleast 3 PR5s...they are clean links, but of course not picked up on all se backlink lists. All of the links from these are 6 to 10 weeks old.

sample...(this one listed as a bl by Google)
PR6 - http://info.ifulfill.com/testimonials.asp

I'm at a loss...

That should do it, I was thinking 7 but actually any page that's frequented by by the spider would suffice. Seems like there should be a couple in the mix of 5's and 6's.

What's the domain?

If it's discount board games, looks to me like you've got 36 pages there in Yahoo but when I use the tool I get 0 too. I just read the last two lines of your first post, sorry about missing that, but it looks like the tool.

Thanks. Do you know of another tool that checks that? If not then what is the current syntax to check in Yahoo directly?

I always used domain: but according to their operators it's site: I get the same for both.

Aviken,
FYI - I just recently (week or so) submitted to the Yahoo directory and the domain is already in the search results.

Thanks Dilligaf.

Snap, you must have gotten in quickly becuase of your name! Actually I am listed, and was before I bought the directory listing. I was hoping for a bump, and to get my results refereshed as lots of the links are old and...well dead. I'll give it about 1 more month...if it doesn't get much more current, I'll have to pay an everyday SEO to kickstart my listings...
