It's no longer possible. It used to be, about 4-5 years ago if you submitted to the Canadian, UK or Australian directory, but those are now pay-only.

Some years ago, in some local directories from certain countries, was free to register your site. But that was in the past.

I have loads of sites in Yahoo!'s directory, and I never paid them for any of them.

it is possible if your site is non commercial and only for helping people gain information.

if you have such a site then you are upto get a link from yahoo.

it is not a magic pill to give you an instant relief.

you need to wait ages to get listed there for free :D

And it used to work only for non-commercial sites.

Did anyone here actually try looking into the Yahoo Directory before giving all those incorrect "no" answers? Check this link — http://add.yahoo.com/fast/add?259585

As far as I know, the free method is for non-commercial sites, you have to pay to submit commercial sites. However, my sites are Wordpress based and I submit my sitemaps for free to all the major search engines, including Yahoo, via a Wordpress XML compliant sitemap plugin. I got mine listed for free that way.:rolleyes:

Unless you are a really big authority site and yahoo editors consider that it is a must to have your site in their directory there is no way to get a free listing.

DMOZ.org and Yahoo! free submission both had been created for teaching the patience to businessmen and help social causes.
(BTW non-retailer sites can get in frequently)

Yahoo directory is a paid directory, I have not seen anyone who submit for free.

Yahoo does have a free submission option. However, it is very difficult to get in via the free option. I've been trying unsuccessfully for four years. :(

fortunately one of my site got listed way back.
I am still trying for my other sites for the free listing option, but not getting through.
I think they are not encouraging any more for free listing, the option available just for impression.

Don't know if they accept any sites but Yahoo Canadian directory show a free submission.

I think you'd better buy expired domains which are old enough and were included to yahoo directory before 2001.

TheRantAndRave

Mar 30th 2009, 6:33 pm

Yeah it used to be free a few years ago, my host submitted my site to all of the engines with a nifty little script provided by them but yeah you can't do it anymore unless you pay.

That "free submission" option hasn't even been functional in the past 7 years. I don't even think they know that field is still up there.

agree with the above comment ... i had too submitted for FREE in that way.

now also its free to submit but only non-commercial sites accepted as free ... otherwise we need to pay yahoo for inclusion.

i have paid to get few of my sites into yahoo dir too few months back ;)

Was it worth the money do you think, I'm considering this myself?

Lance Quest

Yes, all of you are almost right. Yahoo won't list commercial sites in it's directory without paying for it. But, they do offer free indexing for some really out of usual non-commercial sites.

The free submissions will just be ignored. They are there to make money

why dont you opt to make a payment for listing in yahoo directory?

Nancy1234

Apr 6th 2009, 2:19 am

And it used to work only for non-commercial sites.

i agree with your view that for non-commercial site yahoo submission is free but for commercial purpose it is paid you need to pay the early yahoo dir charges.

Thanks teampower, i have added my site to the Asia directory. Weird that the copy right is out of date and it's still giving free listings while the U.S. one does not.
