    You have to make your meta keywords and Description user and search engine friendly. Bcos yahoo will crawl these two informations and also try to build more back links from the same theme site.

    You will have to shell out US$ 300 for a listing in Yahoo directory for one year. Also, for free listing, I think only non-commercial sites are considered.

    Indeed many websites have multiple listings in the ODP and Yahoo Directory, as does our own website. If you feel your website could justifiably and correctly appear in more than one category, then you need only to suggest the site for the other categories, in the same way that you did for the original listing.

    As a general rule, neither directory will allow your site to be listed in more than 3 categories

    When you say non-commercial sites, what does that mean? I have been trying to find a way to get betterbusinessborrow indexed but maybe thats considered commercial to Yahoo. Or does that just apply for free advertising?

    Unfortunatly as some of the other have said to get added to their directory it is paid submission now, unless its a non-commercial site.

    If you ment there search engine just get a few inbound links join site explorer and submit site map same as you would to get listed in Google or Bing search engines then just wait for them to pick you up.

    well yahoo directory charges for it about 280 USD .But some seo expert says its worth to have your website in their directory .From my point of view if you have a list of other great & High page rank directory list in hand then leave yahoo and submit one by one in to those directories .having to many links towards your website is good then having just one still link .

    I do not think there is a free way to get your business listed in yahooo directory. yahoo has directory for each and every general niche.

    For the people saying dont submit they will just add you this is not true, he asked how to get added to the directory not search engine. They are 2 different things the search engine will pick you up aslong as you have a couple of inbound links this is very true. But as he was asking how to get added to the directory your responce is wrong.
