Thanks to reading Tinu’s announcement I can share with you some recent goings on down at Yahoo.com. You may want to check out Yahoo’s Free Site Maps. I heard about it was wasn’t sure if all sytems were go!

This should save you all some $$$ or so for the paid inclusion fee. Go and see what details you need to set up your Yahoo Site Maps. Go to http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request

Info:
"Enter the full URL, including the http:// prefix (for example, http://www.yahoo.com) of the site you would like to submit. Enter only the top-level page in your site, our crawler will explore the rest of your site from there. We will automatically detect and remove dead links on an ongoing basis.

You can also provide the location of a text file containing a list of URLs, one URL per line, say urllist.txt. We also recognize compressed versions of the file, say urllist.gz."

Thanks Yahoo for keeping things nice and simple. I wonder if other major search engines will follow suit in the near future!
