Yahoo! also offers several ways for content providers to submit web pages and content directly to the Yahoo! Search index and to the Yahoo! Directory.

The goal of Yahoo! Search Technology is to discover and index all of the content available on the web to provide the best possible search experience to users. The Yahoo! Search index, which contains several billion web pages, is more than 99% populated through the free crawl process. Yahoo! Search crawls the web every 2-4 weeks and automatically finds new content for indexing. If pages already in the Yahoo! Search index link to your site, it is considered for inclusion in the next update of the index.

Getting your site listed in major directory services such as the Yahoo! Directory and DMOZ is an excellent way to be sure that there are links pointing our crawler to your site. For information on all the possibilities please see our site submit information page.
