With this in mind, we ask that you follow three simple, yet important steps if you have a site
(URL) you'd like to suggest:
Step 1: Check to See if Your Site is Already in Yahoo! Canada.
An important first step, because if your site is already listed, you need go no further. Check
by searching Yahoo! Canada for your site by title, or by browsing appropriate categories.
(Note: If your site is already listed but you want to change its comments, title, and/or placement,
you need to use the change form. This is an
entirely different process.)
Step 2: Find the Appropriate Category in Yahoo! Canada.
Finding an appropriate category for your site is at the heart of this process. Remember that Yahoo!
Surfers visit each site suggested to us, and proper categorization on your part helps us process
suggestions quickly.
What is an appropriate category? Click here to read a
list of important pointers explaining how we organize our
directory.
(Notes: If you are suggesting a chat area, scheduled chat, or live broadcast, including audio or
video, please submit directly to Yahoo! Net Events.
If your site is in a language other than English, please check our list
of Non-English directories to see if there is an appropriate
International Yahoo! for your submission. Sites that are in a foreign
language represented by our international directories will not be added
to Yahoo! Canada.)
Step 3: Suggest your site from the Appropriate Category.
Suggest your site from the category you think most appropriate. Do this by
clicking on the "Suggest a Site" link at the bottom of that category page.
(It's just to the right of the copyright and the "Company Information" link.)
Again, there is a list of important
pointers to help you establish where your site belongs. Also remember
that the final placement of your site is determined by Yahoo! Surfers.
Finally, suggesting a site is free. You pay us nothing.
When you click on "Suggest a Site" in the appropriate category, you'll
see an online form asking for information about your site. (In the
"category" space on the form, you'll see the name of the category you've
chosen.) Please be prepared to provide, among other information, your
site's title, URL, and a brief description.
Important notes: Yahoo! Canada gives priority to sites with content specific to Canada. If
your site does not contain related content, please submit directly to main
Yahoo!. Furthermore, sites added to Yahoo! Canada
are placed automatically in the main Yahoo! directory. There is no need to submit to both
directories.
Finally, thanks for the site. Thanks for contributing to Yahoo! Canada. By following the above
steps (in order, no less!) you're helping us process sites in a timely manner.
