Am I right in thinking that Yahoo Search Submit is a tool to submit your site to the Yahoo Directory which feeds the results when you search on www.yahoo.com? Thanks Teeny (Copy Shortcut)

It is in the correct category but the description is wrong - so I have gone through the process of submitting an updated description. Is there any way I can get all pages of my site listed in the Yahoo Directory - or do I have to pay for each one? Thanks again (Copy Shortcut)

It's a directory, not a search engine; directories, by and large, list sites, with few exceptions. If you want every page listed in Yahoo!'s search engine, it's a matter of SEO, no submission is necessary or worth the effort. (Copy Shortcut)
