    It's better to use these dollars in adwords, or in some other traffic generated options.

    Depends. I think it's still dofollow...it's still known as a very highly trusted directory. If you have the money, it might be worth doing as getting high quality dofollow backlinks is becoming harder each year.

    IMHO, $300 is too much for that.

    I would say no it's not worth it, unless you have a huge marketing budget.

    I used to be a good source of traffic and a relevant link to have, lately both yahoo directory and DMOZ have lost the relevance. For $300 you can get so much more today than just one link from yahoo.

    I don;t think its worth. As earlier member said if you have a huge marketing campaign than you should go for that, otherwise no need to do.

    but I'm asking about if it affect YAHOO! results
    forget about google we will work on backlinks and PR but what about Yahoo. I think they should consider websites in their directory to rank higher

    In my opinion, this would be a waste of your hard earned money.

    Getting in yahoo directory for free (non commercial) websites is easy or hard ? Are they somewhat similar to DMOZ when it comes to free submissions ?

    It depends of your business and how money you get from your traffic. The inclusion is still expensive and Yahoo does not guarantee the inclusion. The worst thing of all is that they keep your money even if your website is rejected for inclusion. You could totally waste your money because of their politics. It should not be your first place.

    I would say spend the money on beer, rather than pay Yahoo $300 for doing nothing.
