Speeding Things Up: Paid Inclusion
Disclaimers
? I do not usually use paid inclusion. It may be worth considering if you
are on a tight deadline, or are having trouble getting a particular site
crawled.
? Yahoo! has been cracking down on low-quality content. If your
site is less than 100% legit or does not have substantial original
content, I would not recommend using Yahoo!?s paid inclusion
program. If you submit to their paid inclusion program and they reject
you, they may remove your site from their search index.
Paid Inclusion Benefits
? The first benefit of paid inclusion is that you are guaranteed that your
page will be in the index, even if your site would otherwise have issues
stopping it. You may not immediately list exceptionally well, but it will
be in the index.
? Paid inclusion programs also offer a rapid refresh rate, which is perfect
if you have rotating stock.
? Paid inclusion gives you the chance to tweak your page to match the
algorithm and see the changes in the rankings within a couple days.
This is invaluable if you are teaching yourself how to do SEO. It gives
you a rapid feedback loop that helps you learn and change quickly.
? Yahoo! Search weighs page content heavily in their algorithm. Yahoo!
factors in links, but nowhere near as much as Google or Teoma do.
Add a decent number of quality inbound links to a page ranking well in
Yahoo! Search, and it should list well in Google and other major
engines.
? Large sites and large partners may submit trusted feeds that are usually
a bit easier to tweak and optimize than changing page copy.
? Yahoo allows Search Submit Pro listings to promote additional
locations in their sites using quicklinks under their listings.
? Some people have also claimed that their banned sites were allowed
into the Yahoo Search Submit program.
