If I submit via RSS, does Yahoo then store this url and crawl whenever I make updates to my feed or do I need to come back and resubmit the rss feed whenever I add new content?

Thanks

Site FEED: I have 499 urls I need to submit. I have always submitted them one at a time but now I don't know how. I saw where it said make a text file, so I made a list of all my .com urls, I put one on each line, and had 499 lines. I then saved it as urlfeed.txt and put it on my web server. I then went to free request and put in the http://www.url/urlfeed.txt and it times out every time. I tried for over an hour. I had 8 pages of urls in my txt file. Is that why it times out or am I not doing it correctly. I don't mind subitting them one at a time as usual but how do I do that one page at a time? Everything is different and I am afraid I will mess up.

Good to see Yahoo! now has a URL feed, but there is one shortfall that I see. What about very large sites where a single feed or list of URLs would be unwieldy to generate? Google’s SiteMap has a method for breaking down large maps into 50,000 link groups.

What are the file size limits for this? I have tried submitting multiple .txt files and they time out.

I have submitted some files that have been accepted and crawled once, but have not been crawled again since submittal.

Is Y! going to return and crawl again like G?

Can files be located in a directory as opposed to the root?

You can submit your site feeds or URLs at
http://http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request.

You can also find links to this on any Site Explorer query results page such as http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&p=http://yahoo.com&bwm=p&bwms=p&searchbwm=Explore+URL

Once we create the feed, where do we submit them?

For curiosity, how is http://de.search.yahoo.com/siteexplorer much different from looking up my German site on the normal Site Explorer? Is it merely the language of the interface, or does it somehow work better? Thanks for the tips on submitting a sitemap. I'll be doing that in a few minutes!
