Yandex wedmaster tools

I’m simply trying to add a website to the russian yandex webmaster tools. Does anyone have experience or knowledge on how I can overcome my problem.

I’ve successfully added it already to google and bing, however when trying to submit it to yandex, I have the following error. “Site unavailable or not responding.” If I then click to try and add it again, “The server returns HTTP incorrect status code 403 for his page (or redirect page) (error code 200 expected).”

I’ve tried to remove any potential conflicting code in my htaccess file, but still having the same error.

Has anyone answered this, I am having a similar problem on a wordpress site?

Unfortunately I can’t be much help as I have successfully added several of my sites to Yandex without problem.

Update: I’ve been in touch with yandex support and they reckon its a problem with my hosting, so i’ve been in touch with my hosting and there is no restrictions or reasons why yandex is not able to index my site. So i’ve got back in touch with yandex and still waiting for a reply. I have allowed yandex bots to to crawl my site in my robots.txt file and there is no restrictions in my htaccess file either. So the mystery continues!

Hi I have tried to add my website in Yandex webmaster and its completed successfully.

Mostly when you are trying to submit your website in yandex, they probably facing some server error.

Try again, now

@idcockram first reported this issue on 28th April, and was still being affected by it when they reported back on 23rd May. Whatever the issue is, just “try again later” is clearly not the solution.

You have to send sitemap to yandex webmasters-

http://webmaster.yandex.com/site/map.xml?host=http://www.yourblogname.com

Is it possible to do that if the domain hasn’t been added to Yandex webmasters?

Correct, I have to submit the website address first to Yandex webmaster to be verified before submitting my sitemap to be indexed.
