Yahoo has indexed only home page, Why?
Google indexes every single page of my site but Yahoo has only indexed the first page and msn has indexed a quarter of them.

and I should say Yahoo!slurp is very lazy compare to Google and MSN. Actualy I don't remember the last time it craweld the site.

Why is that?

When was the site created? Yahoo/MSN/Google can be weird. I have designed two new sites in the past month, did the same seo on both, one has MSN there all the time, the other has Google there all the time, and both have got nothing from Yahoo.

Hum..., I don't know what to say, seems strange.

I created mine about two months ago.

yahoo's SES (Search engine spider) is very carefull and takes multiple times before it will determine you are safe to index from my experiance.

If you have any sort of cloaking, keyword stuffing, or redirect it could be the cause of the problem - in which case eliminate it to avoid getting sandboxed.

..also if you have quite a few dynamic pages many SES's are carefull.

Other then that:
- make sure your document is valid html/xhtml, etc.
- make sure you have spider freindly links
- dont use any type of lame gateway page.
