Yahoo Directory Listing?

[Meti]

Hi,

What's your view on Yahoo directory listings, is it really worth it? I somehow; doubt that it is valuable link, I think search engines trust this web directory but somehow I truly doubt that it is really worth the submission fee.

I think you can be much better off by submitting to 10-15 quality paid web directories, that have been around for ages than one link for a Yahoo listing, sure it may be worth it for the long run but still not sure it's really worth it.

Do you think it's worth the submission fee?

Hmm now you will meet alot of people that are all for it and alot that think its rubbish.

My Views ? Well im all for it although ive only got one of my sites listed i still think its worth the investment, its is perceived as a "respected" source and if i could afford it i would have all of my sites listed.

Its a little like DMOZ some like it some dont, usually the people that dont like are the one's that cant get in it and have not experienced that it brings

What made you sure it is worth submitting to? If their ToS didn't change, if your web site doesn't get included within their directory you won't receive a refund.

To make sure you do get accepted i would only do it when im sure i would, id look at the category and compare all the sites already there with mine. I wouldnt risk it with and adsense sites or directorys but genuine sites with good contents or business sites i would.

I heard that if your web site isin't commercial submission is free; and many has been approved so far and successfully included within the directory.

That is true but ive never been successful with a free submission, i submit most of my sites every 3 months and haven't managed it yet

Give it some more time, I am sure your sites will be included some day
