Please make sure that the title is no longer than five (5) words and not all capital letters (e.g. XYZ CORPORATION or THE BEST SITE ON THE INTERNET, etc.).

Remember that the description should be a concise representation of what the site offers. In the case of business or commercial sites, it is simply a description of what the company does, or of the product(s) it offers.

    These minimum guidelines should be followed or your request will be ignored:

    • Descriptions must be no longer than 25 words.
    • Descriptions should not contain words in all capital letters.
    • Please Do Not Capitalize The First Letter Of Every Word.
    • Do not include HTML tags.
    • Please refrain from using any marketing language or slogans. For example, phrases such as "the best," "the first," "the only," "the leader (or leading)," "We're Number One," or "The Best on the Internet!" Anything that could be construed as marketing language should be avoided in the comment
    • Do not restate the title of your site.
    • Descriptions containing only keywords will not be accepted.
    • Do not include numbers. Examples: "Offering over 200 products" or "We've been in business for 35 years".
    • Do not include name brands in the description. Example: "We have Rolex, Timex, and Tag Heuer watches."

  8. If you want to suggest an additional category for your site, enter that category below. Once again, you must enter the category name exactly as it appears within Yahoo!. Again, consider a cut and paste of the URL.

    • Each listing is limited to a maximum of two categories. If you are requesting more than two categories, your request may be denied.
    • Commercial sites may not be placed in non-commercial areas
    • As above, remember that if a listing is relevant only to a specific regional location, it will only be listed under the appropriate "Regional" sub-category. Requests to list a regional site in an additional non-regional category may be ignored.
