2) Publish static pages: your content is now in a static format which is search engine ready. Publish all static pages into a new directory on your web site.

3) Create a master page: you are now ready to submit static pages to search engines. You could submit static pages one by one. Instead, you can create a master page which contains links to all of static pages. This means that only master page needs to be submitted to search engines. The search engines will then crawl through rest of pages.

4) Submit to search engines: all you have to do now is submit master page to all major search engines. That’s it!

Now big bonus! If you performed your searches in a clever manner (1 above), you will have keyword specific static pages. These will produce amazing traffic from search engines as they will be rated very high.

If you have some lengthy content pages you might want to break down static pages into 3 levels: articles, list of articles and a master page, for example.

Within two to four weeks of submitting your mater page you should see some impressive traffic from your category specific static pages.

It is then just a matter of refreshing and resubmitting static pages at regular intervals, monthly would be sufficient.

Most importantly, keep it simple for yourself, if a single static page is enough, leave it at that. If you have time, plan out how you can get most value out of your content.

8. Ensure your site does not have obvious grammatical and spelling mistakes. It undermines credibility of your web site, and thus, chance of being accepted in Yahoo.

9. Your site must have sufficient original content. Your site at least consists of 5-6 pages.

10. The navigation system is easy to follow and clear.

Yahoo Submission

1. You need to suggest 1-2 categories, title, and description to Yahoo.

2. You need to spend time in selecting most suitable category. If you cannot select correct category, I'm sure that you cannot get listed. A guideline I can give you is that you should find out your competitors and see which category(ies) they are being placed. Then, follow it. If your site is a business site, you must place it under one of sub-categories of ¡§Business and Economy ¡§.

3. Use your official business name as site title. Title should not compose of more than 5 words.

4. The description should be written within 25 keywords. It is much better to write it within 10-18 words, stuffed with relevant keywords. If it is written too long, Yahoo's editor may completely change your description. Even though you can get listed then, you cannot get any significant traffic because description has no relevant keywords. 5. Do not submit too frequently to Yahoo or else your site will be regarded as spamming. You may never get listed then. You can re-submit your site only if you get no response from Yahoo 6 weeks after your first submission. If you submit your site 2 times without response, send a follow-up email to url-support@yahoo-inc.com. You may get some response, but there is no guarantee.

6. If you have paid US$199, and your site has been rejected. You have a chance to appeal within 30 days. Don't appeal too early. Check your site thoroughly before you make an appeal because you have only one chance.

7. If your site is accepted, you will receive a notification from Yahoo. Bingo!

To be honest, we don¡¦t want to pay US$199 submission fee. However, unique visitors number of Yahoo is No.1 in world, it is deserved to spend effort and money for getting listed. So, consider fee is an advertising expense.
