Although for most of the bloggers Google is the main source of traffic among all the search engines, but it doesn't mean that you can ignore other search engines like Yahoo, MSN Live and Ask.com
In case of Google, once you submit the sitemap, the process is quite automated and Google starts indexing your blog frequently. But for Yahoo, MSN and Ask you have to manually ping them occasionally. So here's what you have to do to submit your sitemap to these lazy Search engines:
Copy and paste your sitemaps in a text file:
1. http://bloggerstop.net/atom.xml
2. http://bloggerstop.net/rss.xml
Remember to replace the text in blue with your own blog's url.
Now in the address bar of your Internet browser (IE, Firefox, Opera etc.), paste these lines one by one and hit enter:
Submit Sitemap to Yahoo! :
http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/updateNotification?appid=SitemapWriter&url=http://bloggerstop.net/atom.xml?redirect=false
http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/ping?sitemap=http://bloggerstop.net/atom.xml?redirect=false
Submit Sitemap to Windows Live:
http://webmaster.live.com/ping.aspx?siteMap=http://bloggerstop.net/atom.xml
Submit Sitemap to Ask.com:
http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=http://bloggerstop.net/atom.xml
NOTE: Change the links in RED, with your own Sitemaps (and instead of atom.xml you may use rss.xml too).
Although Yahoo! doesn't guarantee to include your blog in to it's directory, but of course there's harm in pinging it once in a while...

*UPDATE: Now you may also submit your blog's sitemap to BING, along with your blog's url:
www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap=http://bloggerstop.net/atom.xml

Replyhai,
ReplyI am a daily reader of your blog and i have bookmarked this blog, but this is my first post. first of all really good blog you have really helpful for many bloggers. Thanks for the good tutorials and hacks you've made. today i stuck on this post nd have a suggestion, this suggestion only applies for whom they are burn their feeds at feedburner.com. If you have submit your feed/atom as said above they shall not work because the feed is redirecting to feedburner.com. here is a simple hack for this issue. Submit your url like this - http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/updateNotification?appid=SitemapWriter&url=http://yourdomain.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=50&max-results=100
in this hack it will not redirect your atom/rss. If somebody posted this hack before please ignore this comment.
thanks again sai...
I'm so glad and thankful to you, that your first comment in this blog has helped me and other bloggers.
ReplyAlthough I was using the same trick (redirect=false) in the google sitemap submission, but never tried it here, now thanks to you it is doing the job here for yahoo too.
Cheers!
Hi,
ReplyAnyone else notice that Bing changed its interface and that the new Bing interface does not seem to have a sitemap submission facility anymore? seems to have been dropped, or maybe I am looking in the wrong place? Anybody found a way around this
Another method (may be better) explained in this blog http://weluvblogging.blogspot.com . With yahoo explorer and bing tool box , you can control it as in google webmaster tool. Have a look.
Replywow great article, thanks for sharing
ReplyYou are wasting your time pinging yahoo with blogs.
ReplyIt takes no notice and it can take weeks to crawl your blog.
That is a fact.
Google puts your blog into its search immediately (test it) without having to do anything for your Blogspot blog. With 90 percent of the search market, ignore the other search engines.
Replyhope this tips will work for my blog to submit all search engine....thanks this web help me to know all about blogger....
