can't get indexed in yahoo but can in google

**pappysniper** · 07:19 AM

Hello

I was if wondering there would be a reason or a different's between yahoo and google, the reason I ask is that I have a site listed in google, but no matter how many times I add my url to yahoo I get the same response:The URL could not be validated. Either the page does not exist or the server could not be contacted.

Now I can access my site though google at any time, I understand that that it's not the quickest site to load but yahoo saying it dose not exist.

any help or advice appreciated

Your website being slow to load can be a major problem. It sounds like it's time to upgrade to a better web host. If the search engine spiders have any problems accessing your pages it's essentially a mark against your website. If your website is inaccessible too often, the search engines may drop your website.

Submitting your website to Yahoo or any other search engine is a waste of time. If you have quality backlinks, the search engines will find your website on their own.

So get a new web host and work at getting more backlinks.

It's because they are using diferent algorithm in indexing and ranking a site.

Forget about submitting it to yahoo. Carry on creating backlinks to your website and soon Yahoo will automatically submit your website to their search engine.

Stop adding your site to yahoo this will slow the process of indexing get back links and your site will be crawled sooner or later but stop using the add site tool because every time you submit your site will be queued for 3 or 6 months
