Help Please! I'm Not Being Indexed By Yahoo

For the longest time I've been trying to get indexed by yahoo on one of my sites at euriskoarticles.com

Its a simple article directory that I setup...

I'm not new towards SEO, I know my way around but I'm sure there must be something I could possibly be missing. I've done some directory marketing and article marketing to help build back links.

I've been periodically checking out how many of my pages are being indexed by using a tool at marketleap.com/siteindex/default.htm

If you go to the search engine saturation tab, enter my site vs highprofilearticles.com/ for example, you can see that both sites are about the same thing but the second site has much more pages indexed then my site.

I have setup an account with yahoos webmaster center at siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com and added in my rss feed along with some sitemaps.

If you check out the link popularity tab, it even looks like I have more backlinks then highprofilearticles.com

What is going on here? I'm still learning some of this stuff and I guess I might have missed something?

I would greatly appreciate any help, suggestions or comments!

    You will not get indexed by Yahoo unless you pay the fees to have your site listed.

    Yahoo is a Directory - not a search engine as such like Google.

      You're mistaken, Yahoo is free.. Yahoo does have a paid directory that is seperate to the main search engine.

      Oh and I've found Yahoo likes exposed URL's rather than anchor text.
      False!

      Yahoo is a site when you can indexed and looked by most number of visitors.

    i don't really care much about getting index by Yahoo but if they do that would be great! simply because I don't want to pay for 300.00 dollars just to get in to their index thingy. Though I notice if check it from yahoo I see my site is there.

    Just my 2 cents

    hey,

    I agree with you on that I don't need to pay to get indexed more. I've found stories from even this forum that showed how yahoo simply loves an abundant amount of links pointing to my site. I'm acquiring links via article marketing right now.

    Could you suggest another way to build some good quality links? And an abundant amount of links?

    And can you tell me what you mean by saying 'submit it to them for inclusion' and 'exposed URLs' ?

        It took my website over a month to show up on Yahoo and MSN/Live search. They just take time. This is the reason Google is #1.

    Answering questions on Yahoo Answers with a link at the end of the answer, is always a really good way of getting my pages indexed in Yahoo.
