Is it worth spending $299 on Yahoo OR spreading that money to Ten other directories like Alive, avive, BOTW, Joant etc.? Secondly, if you decide to spend $299 on other top ten directories which ones are those you will vote for?
There's a pretty definitive article about submitting to the Yahoo! directory here: http://www.linkbuildingblog.com/2006/08/the_final_word_.html I've got a list of directories rated by page strength, which give a pretty good starting point for determining what the best directories are: http://www.avivadirectory.com/strongest-directories/
I'd say yes, it is worth it and more. In any case if I were you, and for various reasons I'd go for these 10: www.avivadirectory.com www.alivedirectory.com www.squidlink.com www.forplex.com www.ask-dir.com www.romow.com www.gii.in www.kwikgoblin.com http://directory.v7n.com/ www.sevenseek.com Oh joy... I'm sorry if I missed some mates around, but in any case those are my favourites.

These are the best links worth noticing. Whenever you ask, folks tend to give biased views for their own or buddy lists.
