How do I find out the name of my Yahoo Group?

Question

I am wanting to tell people about my group but when I put the name into the groups search it never appears. If I knew how its name appears I could just then tell people to type it in and then they would find it and request to join it.

Thank you

Answer 1

To know the name of your group:

Sign in to your group.

Near the top of the home page you will see the name of the group.  It will actually have the group name dispayed two different ways.  One where the words are ran together and one with spaces between the words.  Example:  suziesnewshoes . Suzies New Shoes

Either of those will show up in a Yahoo Groups search.

NOTE:  If you just recently created your group, it will take a few days or up to a week for it to show up in Yahoo Group searches and the Y! Groups Directory.

If you cannot find your group's home page, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups

This will pull up a list of all the groups you belong to including the one you own.

Easy way to tell friends how to find your group:

While on the group's home page, you can copy the group's URL and paste it into an email or a text file to be used for your convenience.  This is also called a LINK.  You can send the link in an email to people and they will just click on the link to go to your group's home page.Example of a URL or Link:

http ://groups.yahoo. com/group/ nameofyourgroup/

Of course the name of your group would appear instead of nameofyourgroup. In a real URL there are no spaces in it.

You can promote / advertise your group at:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/AdBay...

It now has only 64 members but it is growing...

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Group...

This group has 3642 members...

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Group...

This group has 6657 members.

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Group...

This group has 95 members but it is growing...

There are also other ad groups that you can join which are listed in these groups.
