    So how come some of the categories have a free listing and some have a pay listing? I got down to the category that I need and the free offer didn't come up.

    Maybe it was a 'commercial only' category.

    Do you have an example?

    Yahoo has recenly been adding sites that have never even been suggested/submitted to their directory. They added a few of mine that they found via my AdWords PPC campaigns (how funny is that - should it count as a conversion?).

    I know that's how they found it because they were listing my AdWords tagged urls:eek:

    I've found Yahoo's Directory as mysterious as DMOZ.

    Both have added sites of mine:

    Without my submitting it.

    Instantly after I did.

    Long after I did.

    Never.

    Probably depends on the individual editor and workload.

    My advice is not to submit an anchor with keywords, but use the official name of your site, editors will also check your whois record. Make sure you submit without any sign of keywords spam. Pick a lower category if it applies more than the main one. If the editors take you seriously as a webmaster and don't look at you like an seo or link spammer, your chances are a lot higher to get in.

    Very reasonable advice. Sad to say, I've been applying to Yahoo periodically for three years for my totally nonprofit site. I apply following their rules to the letter, but no success so far. Maybe next time. :)

    And dont forget to write a good description . It should never look spammy or have self-promotion.
