Yahoo Directory Submit worth 299 $ ?

Hi,

Submission to Yahoo Directory is 299 $, so I'm looking for some experience you had with it:

• have you seen an increase in traffic since your site is in the directory ?
• apart from trafic, what are the other advantages of being listed ?
• are many directories / search engine using the Yahoo Directory for their own results ?

I'm trying to figure out if spending my next 300$ should be in Yahoo Directory or elsewhere...

Thanks !

Yahoo is a good directory but not good enough for this amount of money. With $300 you can submit your site to 7 - 10 other quality web directories probably as good as Yahoo if not better.

(Also bear in mind this is a yearly fee not permanent inclusion)

 

i managed to get into the yahoo directory for free, that was some long time back, did not knew why the site got removed from there but then i did not get any traffic from the yahoo dir!!
it is basically up to you to decide, after all its a PR5-6 or 7 page that is linking to your site!

 

1,It depends on you niche,you can get some traffice from yahoo dir.
2,It helps you rank in yahoo serp.
3,No directories/search engines use yahoo directory(not like Dmoz)

 

Thanks for answers,

Tauren, what do you mean by

.

FYI, I have a website dedicated to French Language learning, then how do I know if this is a niche worth to be included in Yahoo directory ?

One of the first places we submit to.

The Final Word on the Yahoo! Directory

Yahoo! Directory Listings and Google

 

They have free service too, I don't think $299 will worth that you may expecting, also there is no guarantee of submission.

 

i think its a good investment.

 

For $299 is really worthless.. They don't bring any traffic.. You can use the money to submit at another quality directory..

I talk because I one have domain there..

 

i would use that $299 in something useful which would get me good traffic and rankings.

 

In my opinion is not worth it and is a nofollow link as SEO goes = 000000

 

Interesting misconception.

 

The Yahoo directory will help your site "indirectly"", it is hard to see it unless you're very detail oriented to see the advantage. If you have the money don't think twice, but again with that money you can also get more result from other directories.

I guess this directory is for those that spend A LOT OF MONEY and three hundred is nothing for them.

 

Who can tell too most about business(.)com directory it is necessary to pay 199$ for an arrangement of a site?

 

silly romanian...

 

Try using the search function next time, this topic has been discussed to death

 

For me it's not worth it. For $300 I can but lots of good links and articles.

 

I've tried that free submission every couple of months for three years. No success for my nonprofit site.

 

I've found that the better represented a category is, the less likely it is to get a free listing. Could this be the case?
