Getting on Top of Things, Part I
Suggest your site to Yahoo! and get noticed
Â
Hey, Publishers: To get the maximum benefit from the ads you display on your site, you’ll need to get as many of the right visitors there as possible. Surprisingly, some publishers and bloggers don’t know that when they create new sites, it’s important to let Yahoo! know they’re there, so that they may show up in search results.
Â
Last week, we announced our new Publisher Services hub. Here, we brought together all kinds of Yahoo! search submission and other traffic-building services, both free and paid. But you don’t need to have a Yahoo! Publisher Network account to take advantage of these services.
Â
Today we offer a short primer of free services that can help you get your content noticed, whether you’re a publisher in our network or not.
Â
Submit to Yahoo! (resistance is futile)
To submit your site or single web page to Yahoo! Search, visit Yahoo! Submit Your Site and follow the simple instructions. You can also submit mobile sites, RSS feeds and multimedia RSS feeds.
Â
Explore the undiscovered country—your own site
Explore all the web pages indexed by Yahoo! Search, including your own, using the new Yahoo! Site Explorer (beta) . You can view the most popular pages from any site, dive into a comprehensive site map, and find pages that link to that site or any page you choose. Use Site Explorer to learn which of your pages are indexed and which aren’t. If you find pages that aren’t indexed, you can submit them using Submit Your Site, described above. In addition, you can use Site Explorer APIs to get a good grasp of who is linking to you without using easily spammed trackbacks.
Â
Be sure to revisit this blog next week, when we’ll discuss paid Yahoo! search-related services. In the meantime, check out the blog’s Create Cool Experiences page to discover some other Yahoo! services that can help you enhance your site.
