  • Seo - Application Tips For Yahoo
    So you want to apply to Yahoo. Assuming you are not already listed in the index your first step is to find the category page that best suits your site. At the very bottom of this category page will be a small "Suggest a Site" link. Click on it to get to the site submission page.

Keep searching until you find your ri...
  • Seo - How To Avoid Being Blacklisted By Yahoo
    A listing in Yahoo can boost your site’s page rankings exponentially but unfortunately it is one of the most finicky and difficult sites to get into. For one thing they don’t allow you to piggyback by using well-known keywords or brand names. It is all original, you and manually arranged.

The easiest way to get their attention is a direct email, as opposed to using the "Feedback" link on the pages. Usually it takes ages for about.com to get back to you as they are looking for bigger sites or sites that are very specific to w...
  • Seo - How To Apply To The Open Directory Project
    They say once that you are listed in the Open Directory Project you will be listed everywhere else, it is also know as DMOZ.

Google respects this and often automatically adds the URL of a link that is picked to go into the Open Directory Project to its pages.
