Same as Google, Yahoo also provides the similar service called Yahoo Site Explorer that you can submit your Sitemap to them.



Here's how to submit:



1. Go to Yahoo Site Explorer and type your URL in the "Site Explorer" box.



If you see the results, your Sitemap has been submitted already. Otherwise, please do the step 2 below.

2. Enter your URL into "My Sites" and you will need to login into Yahoo.



Add my site to Yahoo


3. Once you login, click the authenticate button.

You will need to either download verification file to upload into your site or add a META tag to your homepage.



4. Once the step 3 is done, click "Ready to Authenticate" button to Yahoo to verify which takes whithin 24 hours.



5. While Yahoo is checking your site, you can even submit your Sitemap by adding "atom.xml".

Ping Yahoo

Yahoo Site Explorer also provides the API for us to notify Yahoo when the site has been updated. You can simply change the below URL to your URL and type it in the browser and enter.
