    Probably better off using that money for advertising - adsense or ypn etc
    this sort of ensures your website gets indexed and if it is done up well, you'll end up with good organic traffic.

    If you believe in your site or products its totally worth it.

    If you just have a MFA site then probably not worth it.

    Its 100% worth it. Even at twice the price.

    There is a guy on this forum who does it for $50 which you may prefer.....

    does $299 guarantee the submission or just for "review fee"?

    Non refundable review fee, and you shouldn't expect to get any keyword rich titles

    I dont' think it is worth it. You can get a 300-500 directory submission package for around $50-$90 and I feel that it is even more valuable then yahoo's inclusion service.

    You could do that after you're already settled and added to a few other directories, or your site already has made enough money. Usually, I'd think about submitting to Yahoo after about 6 months of the site's operation.

    you can submit to yahoo directories for free but takes about 3 months or so to be included. so go that route, plus by then you can build your site better.

    A guy here at DP offers Yahoo submission for $60:

    Not sure how he does that - I am guessing he's a person working at Yahoo, who is making a few bucks on the side. They will probably put a lid on this once they realize what's happening.
