Yahoo's free search submit also allows
webmasters to submit the location of a textfile which has
links to all the URLs in the site, very much like a sitemap.
The link to it is at http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request.
With Yahoo's search subscriptions,
in order to click through to an article listed on the search
results page, the user will need to have a valid subscription
that they have secured from News (This service is useful only
if News has any content which requires subscription). If they
are not logged in to the News site when they click on a search
result, they will be prompted for their login information.
The subscription results for a user will be displayed above
the general web search results. To be one of the content providers
you will need to contact Yahoo here : http://search.yahoo.com/subscriptions/contact/partner
and a manager from Yahoo will call back.
Yahoo announced a new product named
Site Explorer, http://sitexplorer.search.yahoo.com/
where you can get your linkage data and can also submit URLs.
Site Explorer is not live yet but should be a good thing to
keep tabs on for News. Currently Yahoo indexes the contents
of seven premium sites, including the Wall Street Journal
Online, ConsumerReports.org, the Financial Times, and TheStreet.com.
But they plan to add more to this list once it's live.
