Sitemaps - 8/9/2006 18:03:40
I have made a sitemap and added it to my google account where they can search the map quick.
Anyone know if MSN or Yahoo has this service?

RE: Sitemaps - 8/10/2006 10:14:14
There IS a similar solution from Yahoo...
A free, bulk URL submission option for Yahoo was first presented at the recent Search Engine Strategies conference in San Jose from Yahoo's Tim Mayer during a session on indexing. Previously, web sites were discovered for the organic search results by the Slurp web crawler or by submitting one URL at a time. Now Yahoo offers the option of submitting many URLs at once using Yahoo's free submission service at http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request.
Registration for a Yahoo account is required, but free.
Here's how it works: Create a list of all the URLs you want indexed in a text file and name it something like, urllist.txt (Yahoo's suggestion). You can also provide a compressed file and call it urllist.gz. Example: http://www.domainname.com/urllist.txt .
If you are providing a plain text list of URLs to Google Sitemaps, then you can use that same file for Yahoo.
Place the file in the main directory of your web site and submit the URL to the Yahoo free submission form at: http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request.
There is additional information at the page..
Hope that helps...
Tera

so Yahoo can not read a XML file?

Looks like they take XML...
(this is from the page)
Enter the full URL, including the http:// prefix (for example, http://www.yahoo.com) of the site feed you would like to submit.
You can provide us a feed in the following supported formats. We do recognize files with a .gz extension as compressed files and will decompress them before parsing.
RSS 0.9, RSS 1.0 or RSS 2.0
Atom 0.3
A text file containing a list of URLs, each URL at the start of a new line. The filename of the URL list file must be urllist.txt; for a compressed file the name must be urllist.txt.gz.
not sure why the link doesn't work in my above post...
so here it is again...
http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request

the Google Sitemaps is an open standard, so if you can find somewhere to submit it to MSN or Yahoo they'll be able to read it.
Whether they will is another matter.
