Web site Submission in Yahoo!
The following directions outline how to submit your personal physician web site to the Yahoo! directory by guiding you to the most appropriate category in Yahoo! (These directions are for United States locations only.)
On the Yahoo! Main page, scroll down to the Yahoo! Web Directory. It has several columns of directories listed. The directory that you should place your personal physician web site is in Regional. After you get into the Regional directory, there should be several categories listed. The category that you should go into is U.S. States, which is the first one on the list. While you are in the United States category page, pick the state that you want your personal physician web site categorized in.
After you choose your state, under categories select Health as your category. You will then go to a page with the Health categories. If your state has a category for Care Providers click on it, if not, go to the top of the page and click on the "Suggest a Site" link . You now should see there are two ways that you can submit your physician site to the Yahoo! Directory. (Yahoo! Express or Standard Submission) For a free submission, you should choose the Standard Submission for placing your own personal web site.
Verify Submission and Confirm Category
This step is to remind you and confirm if your site is not listed in Yahoo! and have read their
explanation on how to create your site. Be sure that your site is going to Regional/U.S.
States/(state you chose)/Health/Care Providers category before approaching to the next step.
