Yahoo Directory unable to access a domain for submission
-
Tried submitting a website to Yahoo!'s directory but each time no matter how i input the domain i get the following error:
- We were unable to access your web page. Please double-check your URL.
Is there anyway to contact Yahoo! to request a manual submission?
-
I am experiencing the same thing! I just added my URL to Yahoo! directory (not search results), and I am getting the same error. Maybe, there is some kind of maintenance issue they're having?
I tried it with 3 different browsers for my site.
-
perhaps he/she needs to try a browser cache clear and is currently see old results?
-
The URL worked fine for me on the first attempt for Yahoo. I submitted to http://uk.search.yahoo.com/info/submit the first option "free submission".
The response: "Thank you! Your URL has been added to our list of URLs to crawl. Please expect a delay of several weeks before your URL is crawled.
Note that in the effort to maximize the quality of search results that appear on Yahoo! and our other distribution partners, we do not add every submitted URL to our search index. Therefore we cannot make predictions or guarantees about whether your URL will appear as a search result.
Submit your site to other Yahoo! programs:"

tried that, tried all variations:

http://www.jillybeads.co.uk/
www.jillybeads.co.uk
http://jillybeads.co.uk
jillybeads.co.uk -
That URL has a 301 redirect associated with it. Try http://www.jillybeads.co.uk/

-
Can you share the URL so we can see if there is any problem with it?
-
The site appears in site explorer and there appear to be no issue with robots.txt
-
have you checked your robots.txt file? have you checked yahoo's site explorer (https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/) ?

Website title has domain name in SERPS but not in the website.
We are using the latest version of Wordpress for one of our website. Now every page in SERPS is like this: SEO Services, Link Building and Social Media - Oursite.com But when we look at our website's title tag its like this: <title>SEO Services, Link Building and Social Media</title> It's very strange, why the website's domain name is appended to the title in SERPS?? Any ideas? Thanks!

Is directory submission still a valid practice?
Hi Guys, I have few doubts running in my mind on directory submission, do you think it is still a valid practice in link building?. If your answer is "YES", then please correct me.. How submitting to directories is a natural link practice? According to Google, links should not be purchased, it should to be created naturally, but if you see, a lot of high authority directories charging amount from people to index links, why Google not stopping those directories (I mean penalizing) and stopping the people who are trying to get indexed by paying. According to me directories holds only bunch of links to some external domains (I hope I am not wrong), then how submitting to them can bring rankings to me?. Sorry, if I sound stupid in any of my points, but expecting some good answers from you folks.. 🙂

Is this a directory or are they selling links?
I came across a website that at first looks like an informational site, but they also have a directory. On their directory page, it says that if you would like a link placed in our directory email sales@site.com. Do you think Google would consider this a purchased link or a directory link? Can people get away with selling links on your site if you framed it as a "directory"?
