Google to Yahoo Sitemap Converter
ADVERTISEMENTSMost of you may know about the Google Sitemap Generator plugin for WordPress that automatically generates a new Google Sitemap whenever you post to your blog. This can help you to increase the number of indexed pages in Google.
But what about Yahoo? This is where Elliot’s script comes handy. His script will help you convert your Google Sitemap into a Yahoo compliant sitemap that you can submit to Yahoo.
You can find the installation instructions here. Basically there are two files- g2y.php and yahoo.txt that you have to upload to your server into the same directory where your Google Sitemap is located.
Then CHMOD the yahoo.txt file to 777 and run g2y.php from your browser to get all the URL’s in your Google Sitemap to be listed in the yahoo.txt file.
Now just submit your yahoo.txt file to .
Note: Yahoo requires that the text file be named urllist.txt, so it is a good idea to rename your yahoo.txt file to urllist.txt. But do make sure that you correctly change the reference to the file in g2y.php.

Venu- You can run the g2y.php whenever you like to extract the URL’s from your Google Sitemap to the yahoo.txt and then submit to Yahoo. You can also set up a cron job.
Rajesh- I can access all the links. Which link can’t you access? Anyone else having this problem?

I don’t understand. I can access that page with the URL I provided without any problems.
Try searching in Google for ‘google to yahoo sitemap’ and you will find this URL as the first result. Try clicking there and see.
