Exclamation Green Rep Points: Why doesn't...

Yahoo accept xml files and only text url files, and do you know when or if they will ever accept them, and why do you think that.

Not sure I understand your question.
Yahoo does accept xml sitemap files.


Yes, just double checked if your talking sitemaps no issue with .xml files.

I need to contact yahoo again, they told me two times that they don't. Thanks for letting me know Chart, I'll ask them again.

Update:
I was able to contact a nice lady (Lisa) and she explained to me that both files are supported, and apologized about the other two reps who did not explain or know their information correctly, and e-mailed me this link as just a small detail showing yahoo does accept them.

Green rep still given as I love to be proven wrong on stupid acuzations

Just for information you don't need to submit your xml format sitemap via Site Explorer you can just put

Sitemap: http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml.gz

in your robots.txt file on a line on its own for auto discovery.

Sitemap is not a necessity or guarantee for ranking well. It MIGHT help well for bigger and complex sites to get more peages indexed. Google/yahoo doesnt give any guarantee about it at all. Still worth doing it for bigger sites. Small blogs may not need it at all.
