(6) Submit only the main page only. If you register your other pages that are subsets of the main page will most likely be rejected. Unless the page actually has a rare content. (7) Consider how long you can to re-submit your website (eg 2 months). If you have not registered, do submit again in that time period. Here your patience truly tested. Every day, Yahoo accept registration of more than 10 million sites. While that can be handled by the editors is about 5 to 10 percent only. So be patient for re-submit within the time specified.

This only guarantees that your website reviewed more quickly, is not guaranteed to be accepted.

Nothing, because it becomes very difficult since Yahoo changed its policy in late 2001. Especially your website belonging to a business website, only express submission can save you. Currently Yahoo! is still the most crowded directory (about 25.4% of all internet users) plus the search engine Google as its default (over 5% and rising). But there are interesting things. AOL, Altavista, Netscape, and Lycos, when combined have 40.5% of search engine users around the world. These four search engines use the database from the Open Directory Project (ODP).
