Come and Explore your Site…

Yahoo! Small Business just made it easier for customers to submit and authenticate their sites to Yahoo! Site Explorer. Now, all you have to do is make sure that ‘sitemap.xml’ is enabled and your site will be submitted to Yahoo! Site Explorer automatically.

With this feature, new stores as well as existing stores with ‘sitemap.xml’ enabled will have access to the toolkit inside Site Explorer. Within a few hours of enabling, you’ll be able to locate your indexed pages and the links to your sites, as well as delete pages in the index or rewrite dynamic URLs. To double check if your site was auto-authenticated, take a look in the ‘Source’ column in the ‘My Sites’ page in Site Explorer.

If you’re looking for more information on the Sitemap feature, take a look at Sitemap help from Yahoo! Small Business. You can also read more about this feature on the Yahoo! Stores blog.

Welcome Yahoo! Small Business customers! Let us know how things are working for you in the comments below.

Help! I maintain several accounts. I went into SiteExplorer just now to add three sites and when I enter the web address, Site Explorer is forcing a forward slash at the end of the domain! Then when I try to post a sitemap.xml file it rejects it due to a malformed url (because that form also adds a forward slash so then there’s two! Your blog post says we don’t need to submit the sitemap anymore – but how do I associate it to the domains I’ve got in my dashboard? How long does it take to have Yahoo automatically grab the sitemaps if I am not submitting them, and how can we have them re-submitted when we have new pages? I rely heavily on this system more and more!

I like what is here so far. Will there be more functionality in the future, things along the lines of anchor text and keyword evaluation tools?

I am having a wordpress blog where I cant upload an html or add the meta tag for authentication. How can I proceed to authenticate my site?

How long does it normally take for a new submitted sitemap to appear within the index.

Thanks

This site explorer is a great tool. I recently changed web service providers and restructured my entire website. I used the site explorer to remove the old URLs from the search so that my new URLs could get crawled. The site explorer is very easy to use. Thanks Yahoo!

My site failed to authenticate. Can’t find the META tag anywhere on my Site Explorer pages to retry to put it in my home page.

Just thought I’d let you know that Site Explorer is broken in Firefox (has been broken for the last few days). Works in IE fine.

I’m confused about adding my meta tag in Yahoo! SiteBuilder. Do I just paste the code in the title section of the meta tags window? Or do I have to somehow edit it into the text on my site page?

Sorry, newbie here!

Yahoo seems to place much emphasis on the site title, does this mean domain names will become more expensive in the future?
