How to submit sitemap to Yahoo
Here is how you submit your sitemap to Yahoo. Go to https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit and log in with your Yahoo name and password (same as your Yahoo email if you have one).
Once you log in, you’ll see two choices:
1) Submit a Website or a Webpage – skip this.

2) Submit a Site Feed – this is what you want.
