Yahoo Directory unable to access a domain for submission

[EAOM]

Tried submitting a website to Yahoo!'s directory but each time no matter how i input the domain i get the following error:

• We were unable to access your web page. Please double-check your URL.

Is there anyway to contact Yahoo! to request a manual submission?

have you checked your robots.txt file? have you checked yahoo's site explorer (https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/) ?

[EAOM]

The site appears in site explorer and there appear to be no issue with robots.txt

Can you share the URL so we can see if there is any problem with it?

Jillybeads.co.uk

[RyanKent]

That URL has a 301 redirect associated with it. Try http://www.jillybeads.co.uk/

[EAOM]

tried that, tried all variations:

http://www.jillybeads.co.uk
http://www.jillybeads.co.uk/
www.jillybeads.co.uk
http://jillybeads.co.uk
jillybeads.co.uk

The URL worked fine for me on the first attempt for Yahoo. I submitted to http://uk.search.yahoo.com/info/submit the first option "free submission".

The response: "Thank you! Your URL has been added to our list of URLs to crawl. Please expect a delay of several weeks before your URL is crawled.

Note that in the effort to maximize the quality of search results that appear on Yahoo! and our other distribution partners, we do not add every submitted URL to our search index. Therefore we cannot make predictions or guarantees about whether your URL will appear as a search result.

Submit your site to other Yahoo! programs:"

perhaps he/she needs to try a browser cache clear and is currently see old results?

I am experiencing the same thing! I just added my URL to Yahoo! directory (not search results), and I am getting the same error. Maybe, there is some kind of maintenance issue they're having?

I tried it with 3 different browsers for my site.
