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:

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/) ?

Many of our best links are to our old domain. Problem?
Hi, around 7 years ago the organization I'm with switched their domain name. When doing link analysis some of our best links are to the old domain including a followed link from an article on the BBC news site. The old domain has been 301 redirecting to the new domain for years. Is it worth the time to contact the sites that are linking to the old domain? Or, will all or the majority of the link juice be given to the newer domain with the 301 redirect? Thanks!

.Org domain authority
When it comes to .org domain authority is it more important to be getting the link from a .org regardless of DA, or does their domain authority still have a big impact here? Thanks!

What is Followed Linking Root Domains ?
Is it to just have different URLs pointing to my site? I understand that if 1 site posts 5 of my URLs, it only counts as 1. I am just not understanding how I increase this number if link building is now frowned up. Thoughts?

Back linking: Relevance or Domain Authority?
For back linking, what is more important for increasing rank for organic searches on Google? I've noticed that linking on sites with high domain authority that have some or no relevance boost my keyword ranking.

Which Directory Sites to Choose?
Hi All I am a newbie to SEO and have a quick Q. Assuming that appropriate steps would be to; a) Ensure all onsite matters are are correct, title tags, meta descriptions, redirects, canonical issues. b) Submit to Directories c) Build Links I am approaching step b) Which Directories are worth submitting to? For those which require payment, how can I decide which are value for money or should I just use SEOMOZ list of links and assume that theyre worth the $50 - $100 if my higher ranking competitors have links from these directories. Also, can this be looked opon as grey/black hat 'buying of links'? Thank you Sean www.pretavoir.co.uk

Directory Submissions
Hello All. Our site has 17,000 links from over 300 route domains but none from directories. Using open site explorer i've found tons of paid and free directories but Its so time consuming manually submitting. Is it better to take the time to check each directory manually or should I look at some kind of automated service? Cheers Todd
