yahoo application id - application url?

**curriertech** · 01-06-2007 03:05 PM

What should the application url be? Is it supposed to point to vbseo_sitemap.php?

Yahoo App ID should be obtained at http://api.search.yahoo.com/webservi...er_application

Yeeaaah I know that but I think I'm doing it wrong because the sitemap report still says yahoo ping failed. See my attached screenshot of the field in question.

Looks like they have changed the process for getting an AppID. That form is new.

**Oleg Ignatiuk** · 01-06-2007 05:03 PM

Mm.. yes, looks like something is changing in Yahoo sitemaps API. They create App IDs automatically now (I was able to choose own titles before) and they do not work with yahoo notifications constructed as described here: Site Explorer Documentation for Yahoo! Search Web Services

Looks like you will have to manually submit yahoo sitemap at https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit for now.

That works for me, that's how I was doing it before anyway. Thanks for looking into it.

I chose my own yahoo app ID just 4 days ago. That must be very new.

Make sure you do not choose special charachters or spaces in yahoo application id, you will have problems.

use small alphabets with 0-9 numerics only to avoid problems.

So what is the resolution for the automatically generated APP ID's? When I signed up for it I was provided with the ID and am recieving the Failed notice on the Yahoo ping as well. I signed up for the APP ID on Wednesday or Thursday of this past week.

I just revisited this issue, and by putting the path to my urllist.txt.gz in the 'application path' box on the application form, it works! I just ran the sitemap generator after entering my new appID and turning on yahoo autonotify, and it all ran like clockwork.

Newbie question... where to I find the generated yahoo sitemap? Looking for it through my FTP program and can't seem to find it.

Thanks.

Via FTP it's in /forum/vbseo_sitemap/data/urllist.txt.gz

Via HTTP it varies depending on how your settings are configured, but usually http://www.yoursite.com/forum/urllist.txt.gz or http://www.yoursite.com/urllist.txt.gz

Your Application ID will be like this http://api.search.yahoo.com/webservi...er_application

**Bravo** · 08-09-2007 01:06 AM
