    Does anyone actually bother submitting their sitemaps to Yahoo and MSN ? I never see this point and dont bother at all , Im very lazy in some respects as i always choose a software to run a site from that automatically updates the sitemap and pings my Google account.

    Do you submit your sitemap to the others ?

    I have some mods and hacks that pings Yahoo directly with my sitemap but to be honest i can tell how many visitors i received from them nor the benefits reached till now. About MSN i don't know how to submit a site there :biggrin:

    No, only with Google and haven't tried to other search engine, maybe one of this days. I heard it could help your site more reachable and easy to find.

    It's not about hacks, it's not a secret. Sitemap pingers are publicly announced.
    Yahoo itself is a bit different, because it needs your appId key, but that's all.

    The following errors were detected:

    http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=HERE

    Submit Sitemap - Webmaster ToolsBing

    http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=HERE

    To say there is no use...and restraining from the benefit of being exposed to some more search engines...is a matter of choice and opinion. I say the more, the better.

    P.S. what you see with the errors is due to the automatic URL fetching, please copy the link yourself and change the fields after getting your app id for yahoo, and putting the right sitemap URL. Sorry for this, forum's own behaviour, I poster URLs with "HERE" as sitemap's URL...

    Yes, I submit my sitemaps to msn, google, yahoo and bing.

    And why should you take the time to do this? Because traffic from yahoo has a 15% - 20% lower ounce rate then the traffic from google.

    Although unsolicited, we cannot consider the following email spam.The sender approaches the website owner individually, with a business proposition. The problem is not in the approach, but in the offer.The sender sells something the receiver can get for free.
