Yahoo adds new way to verify site
Yahoo Site Explorer just added Google Sitemap type ability to verify site. Whats new is now you can upload a file rather than to add meta tags. I have been waiting for this feature for a while. Because in certain softwares, its complicated to add meta tags but its easier to upload file. It looks like Yahoo learned from Google mistake. Not only the file has “y_” prefix to prevent file name collision, but it also has unique verification word in the file itself (to prevent infamous 302 redirect problem, in Google sitemap).
Now, only if they implemented top query, rank keywords.
