Yahoo! simplified version of Google Sitemaps, by means of a text file that contains a list of your site's URLs. In the past, you could only submit your home page to Yahoo!. With this new option you can submit all your site's pages in a single submission.Like Google Sitemaps and other search engine submission process, this "sitemap" does NOT guarantee that Yahoo! will crawl or index your pages, nor will it influence your keywords' rankings. The Yahoo! "sitemap" concept is the same as Google's, aside from a simpler format and lack of reporting in its current version. Business - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under business/finance/loan/mortgage category Computers - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under computer hardware/software/peripheral category Internet - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under webhosting/webdesign/internet marketing category Software - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under software category Web Design - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under web design/development category Web Hosting - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under web hosting category Web Promotion - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under search engine optimization/internet marketing category Web Resources - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under other web category Recreation - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under travel/hotel/cruise category Casino - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under online gambling/poker/blackjack/roulette category Health - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under online pharmacy/hospital/health category Shopping - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under online shopping/gift category Miscellaneous - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under all other categories Yahoo! request that the file be named URLLIST.txt. You can generate the list with any text editor. As with Google Sitemaps, there are applications that can help you automate the sitemap file creation. I personally use SiteMapBuilber.Net; it is a free application that creates Google and text file sitemap.Yahoo! will ask you to provide your Yahoo! ID and password. If you do not have a Yahoo! ID created yet, you can sign up on the same page and double check that your home is listed on Yahoo! because if you don't have a Yahoo! account ,that would mean you have not submitted your home page to Yahoo! yet.If Yahoo! times out when submitting your Sitemap, allow 24 hours and then return and try again. Do not resubmit your Yahoo! file immediately after the timeout, if that happens to you. I have the experience of having timeouts when submitting some of my sites.Yahoo! sitemaps is following Google's footsteps on creating an easier way to telling Yahoo! about all your site's URLs in a single submission, saving a lot o submitting and spidering time.
