Below are some answers to common questions regarding this issue:

Q: What are some of the common reasons that a site may violate Yahoo!'s
Content Policy Guidelines?

A: Yahoo!'s Content Quality Guidelines (link above) outline what we are
and are not looking for in pages that we index. Listed below are some of
the more common reasons that a site may violate these guidelines:

- Cloaking (showing crawlers deceptive content about a site)
- Massive domain interlinking- Use of affiliate programs without the
addition of substantial unique content
- Use of reciprocal link programs (aka "link farms")
- Hidden text
- Excessive keyword repetition

are they saying my site is a link farm? :confused:

Yahoo won't tell you the exact reason. They don't want spammers back in their index.

Your website obviously violates one of their guidelines. It's up to you to remove anything spammy. I'm sure you could point out a few things yourself. Most people who get rejected or banned know a few things that they aren't doing very honestly.

It could be that they are just cracking down on reciprocal linking. I noticed that your directory has an option to submit with a reciprocal link. I would be surprised if this is a problem, but you never know. Sometimes it's a guessing game at best.
