Rejected Yahoo! Local Listing Submissions

[Caitlin.Adria]

I'm working for a nationwide agency that has local agents scattered throughout the nation. I manually inputted each agent's listing and over half of them were rejected. I'm trying to find the common denominators among those that were approved and those that were rejected, but I can't find any. Does anyone know a way to get all of these locations approved?

It's because of abuse of local search. There's a range of possibilities that it could be.

• Your IP submitting too many
• Too many of the same email address or phone number between them
• etc, etc...

Do the agents have actual locations in each of the places? Are you putting in one national phone number and email address or are they getting their own individual ones?

Did they get rejected seemingly randomly or did all the rejections start after a certain point?

Hi Steve,

Of the 122 listings that I submitted, 85 were rejected. They were rejected in chunks, but those chunks don't necessarily share similar elements. Each agent has their own location, email and phone number. The website is the only shared contact information.

If this is because I submitted them all in one sitting, should I spread them out over the course of a week or two? Can I resubmit a listing on Yahoo! after it's been rejected?

Thank you so much for your help!
