The key to getting listed is great content and some luck. Like the publishers who receive hundreds of queries a day for that one great manuscript and can't read them all, Yahoo receives thousands of inquiries daily. Allegedly, only a quarter of all sites submitted to Yahoo ever make it in. Show a professional, well thought out layout, with a good look and feel. Be easy to use, including a simple, clear navigation system.
Many sites become a jumble of links leading through a maze.
Before you submit, prepare the following information in a separate text document that you'll use to copy and paste data into the Yahoo submission form. If you have an especially important keyword that customers would use to find you, make sure it appears in the title. If you add promotional language, they'll cut it out. Yahoo still returns search results alphabetically by title, but don't play the alphabet game with Yahoo. Yahoo permits you to submit only one URL per domain.
