Yahoo! Local

Is anyone else experiencing issues with Yahoo! Local listings when trying to make edits?
It seems SUPER buggy right now.
Just curious is anyone else is having the same setbacks.
Thanks!

I've been experiencing connection time out issues on and off for the last 2 months. Also, when I can get logged in, I often run into errors trying to delete a listing or update a listing. Sometimes it is a time-out error again and sometimes it just says it cannot process my request at this time. Another frustrating issue is it takes 2 months for pending listings to be published.

Hi Amber,
I have not seen any other reports of this and just did a quick search of the last month of the results for 'problems with yahoo local' and am coming up empty-handed. What kinds of problems, specifically, are you experiencing? I'm going to leave this question as open for discussion in case someone else is seeing what you are.

Local Optimization for ATM Machine
I was curious if an ATM in a building or its own enclosure can be locally optimized as a branch if it has a physical location, it doesn't seem spammy by any means.If anyone has suggestions or an opinion I would love to hear them.

Apparently now OK to use PO boxes to optimize local search?
I've always stood behind what I thought was Google's policy of not recognizing PO boxes. But it seems like all you have to do now is create one and take 2 seconds to create a low-quality G+ page. The below link is to a screenshot that shows my guy (yay new, high quality site with growing, relevant, authoritative content!) just out of the local results. He's not technically in Athens, so we knew it was an uphill battle. What's annoying though is the low-quality G+ PO box result above him. https://www.diigo.com/item/image/4bxh7/yi1x I know the PO Box result is not great in a vacuum in terms of conversion, but fact is if it's just phone numbers you're after they're at a distinct advantage, with no effort. For my client, we've indicated in G+ that he has a service area that extends into Athens. If Google is now favoring G+ results, I'm wondering if my guy should get a PO box instead? yi1x

Address not recognized in Yahoo Local
Hey everyone, I'm working with a client to get their Yahoo listing all setup. The problem is that they're located in a fairly new industrial complex that looks like it hasn't been added to Yahoo's map data. I'm unable to create a listing for them because Yahoo doesn't recognize the address as valid. How long does it take for Yahoo to update their map data for newly constructed areas? Is there anyway to speed to process along (maybe something similar to Google Map Maker where users can suggest updates)? Does anyone know any workarounds or solutions for a problem like this? Thanks! Tim

How far away does your Google Local Listing Show up - and how to improve.
How does google decide if a listing from one city shows up in another? When I do a search for a lawyer in my city my competition from another town shows up - but I don't show up when I search their town. Only 3 listings show up for both searches - so it's not necessarily a rank thing. Any ideas on improving the distance your listings show up for? Thanks!
