how LONG does it take YAHOO! to list your site??

[Bluga]

I've submitted my website a month ago and my site is not listed. I don't think there's anything inappropriate with my website (please see siganature). Any suggestions? How did you submit your site? Does website submission service like the one in bCentral works? Thanks!

It is quite possible that your site will never make it to yahoo. Yahoo is known for not adding websites to its catalog. I think I submitted my website about 3 years ago and its still not there. On the bright side because yahoo now uses the google engine which catalogs pages by popularity, the importance of catergory organized yahoo has fallen.

I saw that they have a service that will review your site within 10 days for $199. All they think is money now.

About 4 years ago (may not apply anymore) I ran a fairly popular site about deafness.. Got thousands of hits, yadda yadda. Lot of editorial content. Anyway, I submitted it to Yahoo, as did a couple of my visitors, and we never got it listed. A YEAR after the site was shut down (ISP/Host went out of business), they list it. I stumbled across it somehow and it had been labeled as a new entry. 6 months after I notified them it's a dead link, they removed it.

I took a few months before it did on the ones I submitted. I think it is actually longer than they state though.

It takes 3-4 months.

Also what is the best way to promote your site?
