Does it give you big boost? I have never tried it, but have seen some clients do it and it didn't do a thing.
You can always just pay the money to rank #1-3 if you think it's worth 15 cents a click plus the fee.
It seems as though Yahoo is taking a little longer than 3 months now to show rankings. I wonder if they have put into place a longer aging filter?
Yeah, I remember the good old Yahoo days. I got thousands of visitors a day for a site that didnt make any money...ouch! I learned about search engine promotion before I learned how to promote something worthwhile. :/ Donna
Don't waste your money on the Yahoo directory. I would only pay it if my marketing budget was 10 times that. Well Ferret, then I guess I have to wait about 8 more months till one of my sites is going to rank in Google.
Yea, their domain age filter really sucks.... I'm noticing ANGELFIRE.com/asdasdasd/ website ranking in top 10 for one of my main keywords... and *.8m.com (freeservers) domains in top 3 for one of my main keywords... so I hope that they step things up because these sites haven't been updated in years that are ranking in the top results...
What do you use for link exchange? Do you send emails to webmasters or do you use a link exchange program
sigh .. i am listed in yahoo directory but it doesnt help me a lot .. i am listed in myspace directory .. when perform the search for myspace layouts it didnt show up while others in the directory show up on the first page , my site is freemyspacelayouts.orf .. mine even can't find in the to 100 sites
lol that sounds like my site from 1999 ranked well in yahoo and got 500 uniques/day.. about 1000-2000 visitors every day with my content and web forum. but at the time THERE WAS NO WAY TO MAKE MONEY! However.. if i would have kept updating the site from 2001 (when i cancelled it) and kept it up to today i would have made HUGE money on adsense! live and learn! now im struggling to get my new (redisigned with new domain) website out of the damned google sandbox and out of yahoos penalization system! so i can get more than 10 cents/day.. hmm, kind of ironic if you look at it: i had a site get 500 uniqes/day without trying hard and made 0$/day i have a site that gets 20 uniques/day and only make 10 cents/day something smells fishy!
I hear you...I always dabbled with websites, more as a hobby...it was fairly easy back then, but now it seems to be much more of a challenge
Some questions.... What is H1 and H2? What is PR7 and PR8? As for the TIME filter... My site has been up for over 10 years. I was #1 everywhere, including Yahoo, Goole, Alta Vista, etc... Just in the past week, my site has dropped to 23 overnight. The sites that are on page one, even in the top 5, have been up for only a few weeks. WHY? Better yet, how do I get back to #1? RD
