    I saw a site having 172 listing on Yahoo directory, with each listing for 299$ pa. Does that mean that they are spending around 42,600$(approx.):eek: yearly.

    another

    confused now.

    You may have only one listing but it will be in listed country wise which may be showing you many listings like au.dir.yahoo.com , uk.dir.yahoo.com :)

    You don't always have to pay to get listed.

    When submitting to the Yahoo directory, depending on your site you get listings in multiple categories like in multiple cities if you offer the service in all those cities,... you also can be listed as a popular site in higher level categories and finally you get almost the same listings in dir.yahoo.com ca.dir.yahoo.com, ...
    You can not submit your site more than once, it is up to the editors to place it in multiple categories.

    i think its similar to dmoz in that they will place you in a category relating to your site then to an applicable regional category
    but yes at editors discretion

    Major companies have no problem with budgets and can afford to
    advertise everywhere at any cost.

    though agreed that your sites listing could and chances
    are will be listed in many other countries yahoo directory listing.

    thx
