		<description><![CDATA[Yahoo! Local wants your business. Your local business listing, that is. While Yahoo! and Microsoft&#8217;s Bing search engines are combining some of their services as part of their recently-announced partnership arrangement, it&#8217;s not immediately clear how or if they&#8217;ll combine forces when it comes to their Local sites as well. For now, it&#8217;s definitely still a good idea to submit your local business to both &#8212; and it will only take a couple of minutes of your time, so why not? Here&#8217;s Exactly How To Submit Your Local Business To Yahoo! Local: Pull up the Yahoo! Local Business Submission in your web browser.
