Yahoo Express - Denied My Site

ksen · #1 (**permalink**) 03-05-2004, 10:42 PM

Just received following reply from Yahoo regarding my request to include my site in their directory . Not sure how they came to know my site is not running 24/7 ??? Based on host raw-log and my program-statistics more than 99% up-time .

Did anyone know, how can I request for a reconsideration ???

===================================

I can't reach sites that are zeroed out in my hosts file. Could Yahoo have such a killfile too?

It took me less than a minute to find and read the Yahoo Directory Express submit terms and conditions. In there it says you are entitled to one reconsideration.
