How to Limit Yahoo's Crawling Frequency

[cecilio]

Hi Friends,

I don't want Yahoo to index our site everyday. The bot is making a lot of httpd connections. Do you know how to limit Yahoo's indexing frequency? Let's say, I will allow Yahoo to craw our site just once a week. Thanks for the help.

Try checking in Yahoo SiteExplorer. You can upload your sitemaps through there. There should be some way to change crawl rate through there too. I know Google Webmaster Tools does that.
