I want to submit my website in Yahoo Directory for 300$ but will this affect my ranking in Yahoo and Yahoo SERP
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.
I still would. it is the original directory and would carry weight both wit Google, other sites and well would get some traffic too
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
I nevber tried it so I may not be right.. But really $300 for a directory? No WAYYY I think Dmoz is better... and its for free!!
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.
