Is it worth paying to get listed in yahoo?

[zanerzack]

I have recently launched my website and I'm looking to get established in the search engines.

Is it worth the 300 bucks to get listed in the Yahoo Directory?


Thanks.

[kewlchat]

My opinion No Way..

[Rugbyfan69]

Don't Do it if your gonna spend $300 I would invest that in google ads

[warman2442]

Rugby i rather do it in yahoo since it accepts paypal :) lol

[cosmocentral]

I did it myself, didn't get the result for the price. you got my opinion.

[Cut]

Don't pay $300 for that
Just use that $300 on backlinking and adwords, adcenter, yahoo search marketing

[eKrib]

$300 to me is a ripoff. Just because yahoo has a lot of users doesn't mean they'll all click a link in a directory.

[rgerhards]

No way - I'd spent the money at different programs as said by the previous responses.

I would invest that in google adwords. :D

[Al Capone]

Why adwords? Invest in 10 top pay link directories instead. Make sure there perminent

There are free directory submission out there and have a good PR also. You can submit it manually without spending any dollars. That's only my opinion. The final decision is in yours.

According to me whenever u submit yr site in YDir at that time u will get more audience, after some period of time yr site will be moving down numbers by some recent submitted site. so if u use yr $300 wid another extra sources, it would be get better result for log period of time.

300 bucks is better spent on anything but yahoo directory. I did it and regretted it. You should instead aim for DMOZ, since you would get a ton of traffic from Google plus PR4 home page.

Does it help for a established website to rank better in yahoo? i was thinking of paying for this also

[markn26]

Yes...I'm #1 for two extremely important keywords in my niche on Yahoo's SERPs, and I'm attributing it to that. I also had no choice, because my 2 competitors were already up on the directory.

[TadSenseQ]

Yes. It is.

[TadSenseQ]

I know a friend who did this. His traffic went up by a substantial amount

Yes it does. I have a 7 month old site that shot up 8 to 10 pages on very competitive keywords that i target, after a month and a half. So yes, it was well worth the $299.00 inclusion, if your serious about your business.

Run an search on dp and you'll see what people have said about it.

what was the niche of the site?

[mcaronan]

Spend your 300 bucks on something that will make your site good rather than paying google or yahoo to be included in their searches. You could attract more traffics if you'll do it manually link build. :D

[s&ptrader]

cant say it is worth it or not ... but here are some other ideas

there are a handful of PR 5,6,7 paid directories for much cheaper and some of them are lifetime inclusion.

or you could pay a developer $300 for some nifty application for your niche, and if its viral it could catch on real quick and be much better than yahoo directory.

go to a freelance site and get someone to write 100 articles for $300 and post them all over the net and high-profile article directories

just some thoughts ...

interesting to hear other options

I have a few sites in the DMOZ which are not PR4 :confused:

I would absolutely not pay $300 for a listing in Yahoo.

[WunschShrek]

It depends on your website. If you have a website selling a product, I have always found the yahoo directory worth it.

If you are marketing a site where adsense, affilliates or a similar program will be your main revenue generator, I would have to say it is not worth it then.

[randomIntellections]

I too think its better spending that money on other kinds of promotion for your site

[pinga]

depends... if everybody else in your market is doing it probably you should as well

[TroyM]

Yes, and No.. Be careful, you may end up paying for nothing..They do reject listing sites time to time..and they keep the money..

Dont spend much money on yahoo. Isted of try to buy links atleast 3 for 300$. So will get good result in google
