With this in mind, we ask that you follow three simple, yet important
steps if you have a site (URL) you'd like to suggest:
Step 1: Check to See if Your Site is Already in Yahoo!
An important first step, because if your site is already listed in
Yahoo!, you need go no further. Check by searching Yahoo! for your site by
title, or by browsing appropriate categories.
(Note: If your site is already listed in Yahoo! but you want to change its
comments, title, and/or placement, you need to use the change form. This is an
entirely different process.)
Step 2: Find the Appropriate Category in Yahoo!
Finding an appropriate category for your site is at the heart of this
process. Remember that Yahoo! Surfers visit each site suggested to us, and
proper categorization on your part helps us process suggestions quickly.
What is an appropriate category? Click here to read a list of important pointers explaining
how we organise our directory.
(Notes: If you are suggesting a chat area, scheduled chat, or live
broadcast, including audio or video, please submit directly to Yahoo! Net Events. If your site is in a language other than English, please check our list
of Non-English directories to see if there is an appropriate
International Yahoo! for your submission. Sites that are in a foreign
language represented by our international directories will not be added
to Yahoo! UK & Ireland.)
Step 3. Suggest your site from the Appropriate Category
Suggest your site from the category you think most
appropriate. Do this by
clicking on the "Suggest a Site" link at the bottom of that
category page. (It's just to the right of the copyright and the "Company Information" link.)
Again, there is a list of important
pointers to help you establish where your site belongs. Also remember
that the final placement of your site is determined by Yahoo! Surfers.
Finally, suggesting a site is free. You pay us nothing.
When you click on "Suggest a Site" in the appropriate category, you'll
see an online form asking for information about your site. (In the
"category" space on the form, you'll see the name of the category you've
chosen.) Please be prepared to provide, among other information, your
site's title, URL, and a brief description.
Finally, thanks for the site. Thanks for contributing to Yahoo! By
following the above steps (in order, no less!) you're helping us process
sites in a timely manner.
