    wow you bought the Yahoo directory...must have deep pockets ;)

    Yahoo directory doesn't really do much. 1 link on a domain with thousands of links really shouldn't count for much anyway. It is just one small piece of the puzzle. You'll still need a lot of other quality links to get some good rankings & traffic.

    Ok, so you paid to be included in Yahoo's directory. If you plan to keep your website for a long time the investment will be worthwhile. Can you see your listing in the directory?

    A great way to get quality backlinks is from commenting on blogs related to your site.

    A listing in the yahoo directory isn't worth the price.

    Nice. You must some money to submit Yahoo Dir. It will need some time to get it indexed and reputable. Will also need further backlinks and work done to get your site up.

    If you sell the domain sometime, it will add your domain value.
    Good luck for development.

    I'm under the opinion that Yahoo directory is just a scam. C'mon, $300 for a link for a year. Not only is it a scam, it's a ridiculous price.

    If there was *proof* that by posting in the yahoo directory it increased your GOOGLE results by a factor of 10 or something, it could be worth the $$, but I don't think that's the case.

    I think inclusion in Yahoo dir is too expensive and is not worth that much money. You should rather spend money in building website's design and content.

    anyways.. if you bought a link at Yahoo dir, do not expect anything in a day. You did not even tell when did you added it there. Wait for some time, maybe a month or two for some +ve results.

    DON"T UNDERESTIMATE YAHOO DIRECTORY.

    $300 is just too little to you if you realize how important it its. The biggest online site is purchase this service from YAHOO. Even google, AOL, MSN,
    check this link: http://dir.yahoo.com/Business_and_Economy/Finance_and_Investment/

    A lot of company-run dirctory is related to yahoo. Many people are search business in yahoo directory.

    No traffic from YAHOO? What a joke, right?
    Do you know YAHOO start running since 1995. It's directory is 13 years old with highest traffic+ rank 8. It is not important for just the rank8, it is about your site is being approve by the yahoo professional team. paying $300 is not 100% being approved and non-refundable. Your site is not being approve by machine or a random person, it is by a professional staff hired by the company. He will not just see if your site is relevant, but also the quality of contents or the products or service the site provide whether it is trust-worth.

    If yahoo worth around $50B, it's dir can worth millions. You purchase a link in a millions-worth dir. Learn marketing. by the way, dir.google.com still ranking itself lower than dir.yahoo.com. wish you can figure this out. yahoo is the leader in dir. I doubt the brokerage firms(other fields as well) are paying just as little as $300 in the very front page of the each dir in yahoo, they are probably competing by paying more. dir is part of yahoo's core business.

    In other point, there are lot of serious business or investors are searching all the opportunities over dir. since yahoo (or google) got the most serious approval site, buying any interesting sites always happens.

    Your site don't get serious traffic, it is your quality of products or content. Before you submit to yahoo dir, make sure you think your site is worth to be seen by alot of people. so you don't waste this $300 you think it is as huge as scam.

    Nice. You work for yahoo?:D J/k. How can you see Yahoo dir as a scam? Check your dictionary.
    I agree however there are benefits in submitting to Yahoo Dir but many webmasters (ranging from mid to low) tend to not submit as it will involve a lot in there budget. If your a big company looking for a real biz then its a must. Check the top 500 global site in Alexa list. Tell me if there is non in Yahoo dir.
    p/s-You can check using the tool in my sig :)

    I would only buy this for my most prized sites. I would also use this in conjunction with a high-quality press release, like PRWeb.
