How to notify Yahoo bot

Yahoo’s Ping service allows you to notify Yahoo when your blog changes. By sending a small ping to Yahoo you let them know you’ve updated your blog.

How do you ping Yahoo?

To ping Yahoo you use the following address

http://api.my.yahoo.com/rss/ping?u=(your blog address)

EX: http://api.my.yahoo.com/rss/ping?u=http://garanablogtrip.blogspot.com/

(replace the garanablogtrip.blogspot.com part with your own blog URL)

Copy and paste the URL (complete with your blog’s address at the end) into your browser and hit enter.

This will automatically ping “My Yahoo” and notify the spider bot that it needs to visit your blog and update your content.

If you use Wordpress you can set your blog software up to ping Yahoo automatically by clicking on options, writing and entering http://api.my.yahoo.com/rss/ping in the update services box.
