Is there any significant SEO benefit to be linked on the homepage of the yahoo directory. Today, my site was chosen for new and notable sites on dir.yahoo.com. This is a PR 9 site. However the link is not a direct link to my url. I thinks it's a redirect. Being chosen as the top daily site on yahoo should be seen well with search engines i imagine. What do you think the long term benefits will be?
There is no way to know that. Google might recognize this as a vote for the site from the directory editors. About the links: They are absolute links if you cloak your browsers user-agent and make it look like a robot (at least thats what I read in another dir.yahoo.com thread here, haven't checked).
Andre---its a decent guess since every day all the new listings are placed there. Nice pic of the Inner Harbor by the way...I lived about 100 yds from where that picture was taken for a few months.
Thanks ROAR, I really appreciate your comment on my pictures. I have been there for only one evening.
At least your website was indexed by Yahoo! Directory.. I can't even go to it just gives me a blank page after a minute of loading
