Well, As the title says, my damn blog was added in yahoo directory, and I never submitted it. I found that by checking the amount of traffic of getting and guess what I saw, that the traffic source was a yahoo category. I never submitted the blog to the yahoo directory, though I'm getting nearly 200 uniques/day http://dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Internet/World_Wide_Web/Weblogs/Business_and_Finance/ Weird! Is yahoo choosing sites randomly for adding?
yes they do that i had a listing added by them once feels good to know yahoo think your site up to its standard have you had any good media covergae lately? my site was added to yahoo (i believe) becuase it got an article on a popular "web geek" blog and yahoo directory rep saw it?
congratz Rezo. I think that's awesome. seems like they appreciate what appears to be a quality oriented site! keep up the good work.
Nah he is just afraid of saying that he paid the 300bucks . Lol j/k Congrats dude!!! Thats some luck...
Hey, thank you guys! Yes well I haven't paid anything, and was the last to know that my blog was listed by yahoo lol. Anyway, does it affect anyhow the PageRank or SE rankings?
Wow nice, lucky sod I got a site added to dmoz without submission once, but I would sure like to get a few in yahoo for free
To become an editor for DMOZ, you have to suggest a few sites for entry for the section you want to be an editor for. Your site was probably added in that way.
getting listed on yahoo directory certainly helped a rival of mine to page one pf the SERPs for several keyword combinations, they where nowhere before that
Not randomly. Editors find sites that are relevant to the category. After review, they create a title and description, and add it to the category. They have been doing this forever. It's what good directories do.
