Do you know if it is a bad idea to submit your website more than once?
Thanks,

What do you mean submitting more than once?
This is different directory, hence you get more wider coverage.
But if you ping the same post over and over again in short time, yes you will likely being tag as “SPAM”.
I don’t think it matters if you submit your website to Yahoo SiteExplorer more than once. It will not give you greater coverage or any other benefits. I lost access to my old Yahoo account. So I eventually resubmitted my websites and there was no change in traffic or rankings. SiteExplorer and Google Webmaster Tools are best used to diagnose your website for problems that could negatively affect rankings and indexing.
Maybe different search engine got different logarithm for their ranking rules…
So far, it’s the best practice I know…
Yes, this could be a nice way to increase traffic on a site and to increase potential profits.
Great information, thanks
?s it same the seo for yahoo like google_
Good information. Thank you
I wonder what are nowadays differences between results of promoting sites in Google, Yahoo and Bing. There surely are some, but are they huge, large, minimal? That is something that makes me think about it.
