Getting a site re-indexed by Yahoo
I have seen that several people have had problems with Yahoo de-indexing their site. Anyone have any success with getting it re-indexed? What did you do to get it back in Yahoo and how long did it take?

Submitted to the Yahoo! index and it took about 6 weeks. I was down to just my home page for about 2 months. Back in serps on Yahoo! now.
Below are some answers to common questions regarding this issue:
Q: What are some of the common reasons that a site may violate Yahoo!'s
Content Policy Guidelines?
A: Yahoo!'s Content Policy Guidelines (link above) outline what we are
and are not looking for in pages that we index. Listed below are some of
the more common reasons that a site may violate these guidelines:
- Cloaking (showing crawlers deceptive content about a site)
- Massive domain interlinking- Use of affiliate programs without the
addition of substantial unique content
- Use of reciprocal link programs (aka "link farms")
- Hidden text
- Excessive keyword repetition
Q: If my site has a judgment against it, can I use the SiteMatch
inclusion program?
A: All pages submitted to SiteMatch are editorially reviewed. If a site
has a judgment against it, it is likely to be rejected by the SiteMatch
program.
Q: If my site has a judgment against it, can I use the Yahoo! Express
directory inclusion program?
A: Yes, the Yahoo! Directory and Yahoo! Search Index are different
systems. Inclusion or exclusion from one does not affect the other.
Q: How can I have my site re-reviewed?
A: Please review our content policy guidelines to make sure that your
site meets all of them. When you feel the site is ready, please complete
the form located at:
requesting a re-review of your site. You may wish to include an
explanation of unique features on your site, or details of changes to
your site's content that may assist our editors in their evaluation.
Please allow several weeks for the review process, YST indexing, and a
complete refresh of the database before checking http://search.yahoo.com
to see if your site is listed in the Yahoo!Search Index. We do not offer
specifics detailing how an individual site is not in complience with our
guidelines, but we will review your site individually. You will not be
receiving further notification regarding your request for a second
review, and we are not able to offer the option of another review.
Thank you for taking the time to make the Yahoo! Search Index better.
Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care.
Regards,
Evan

I got an e-mail similar to that one. I made some changes that might have been issues with their guidlines and I re-submitted. Still waiting to see something happen.

Ya got me
I get hit by Slurp 4-5 times a day. The last 2 days have been around 60 hits each day from Slurp... maybe it's a good sign? The home page is still the only one cached though.

Well I decided to spend a little money and I did the site match thing. Now I am ranking again for a pretty good term and I hope there is more on the way.

It seems that above e-mail from yahoo is a standard email and that your website is to be reviewed yet, according to an e-mail I have sent and on which I got an friendly answer from Yahoo.
