Anybody know what the spider for yahoo search is called? I can see in my stats googlebot, msnbot, alta vists bot etc... but I don't see a yahoo bot and was wondering if is called something else. I'm not talking about the human directory but the search engine.

"Slurp"

Your stats package may ID it as the Inktomi bot if the package hasn't been upgraded in the past year.

User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo! Slurp; http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp)

Great, Thanks! That is what I needed to know, i don't see either one of those in my stats, do you know how to submit to yahoo? I can't find it on the web anywhere?

i have not submited to yahoo, but my website is being spidered every day by yahoo. .. Just get links on sites, then they spider you.

Hmm... I've got lots of links, 600+ I guess I just need to be patient.

patience is key!!
