Registered on Yahoo! Directory

Hello, this is Yahoo! JAPAN.

The page you recommended

has been listed on Yahoo! JAPAN.

It is scheduled to be published with the next database update (within approximately 1-2 business days), so please confirm it by checking “New Sites” within “What’s New”, or by performing a keyword search using the URL.

So, it seems that searches will be possible starting tomorrow or the day after, and a significant increase in access is anticipated. I plan to observe the situation for a while and hopefully compare data from before and after the registration.

As written on sites like this and this one,

Also, some say that the probability of a personal website being listed is harder than getting into the University of Tokyo. (Though that might be an exaggeration…)

I knew it was that difficult, and this was my third registration application.
But! I was still surprised at how smoothly it got registered.

Apparently, those who check sites for Yahoo are called “surfers.” Following the tracks of that surfer, I found that they only looked at two pages:
・Top Page
・Fedora 4 Installation Page
Surprisingly, they didn’t look at everything.

My guess is that the Fedora 4 installation page was the trigger for registration. Information on this page is still too new and scarce, and a special method is required to capture the installation screen. (That’s why I put anti-forgery text on it, for example.)

Indeed, I realized that unique information not covered by others is essential.

Now that I’m registered on Yahoo, I will be seen by many people. Moving forward, I want to be even more careful about providing accurate and unique information when publishing content on the web.

Thank you for your continued support.
