How hard is it to setup a Yahoo sitemap?

Setting up your Yahoo sitemap is not as difficult as you may think. A sitemap for Yahoo is used for directing crawlers in the search engines to your web pages so they can all be indexed. 

To submit your sitemap to Yahoo, you need to create a sitemap and then add a sitemap entry into your website’s robots.txt file.  How do you do this?  The following will help:

 1. Create your sitemap - First, create a sitemap.xml file on your site. You can find more information on how to do that in my post on Google sitemaps here.

2. Create your robots.txt file – Once you have your sitemap created, then you need to create a robots.txt file on your site.  You can find out more informatin on robots files here.

3. Add sitemap to robots file – In your robots.txt file, add this line:

Sitemap: http://www.yourbusinesswebsite.com/sitemap.xml

4. Submit your site to Yahoo – Once you have your robots.txt file ready, then submit your site to Yahoo so it will crawl your site, find your sitemap, and index all of your webpages. To submit your site to Yahoo, click here.

 And you’re done!  Here is a link that will explain this in a little more detail:
