    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)

    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.

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

    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.
