    Its not exorbitant at all, $25/month for a quality link and you also end up with links from other yahoo directory country specific pages. The only downside is yahoo still haven't developed a tag to stop them using your directory details in the search results.

    They recently have developed a tag. http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000418.html

    <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOYDIR">

    or

    <META NAME="Slurp" CONTENT="NOYDIR">

    I think that instead of investing in YAHOO Directory right away, it's best to start buying high PR links from good websites and not only directories. This way, you get a link back, you get traffic and your offpage optimization becomes stronger.

    Yahoo does not send a lot of traffic any way, better invest it in sites doing well on Google. You'll get thrice the better result from Google than you would with Yahoo

    no, it isn't

    if your site is good, it will be in there naturally.

    and with the 299 price, that is per year ;)

    like the first poster said, this has been asked a number of time.
    next time, use the search feature.

    Ok, I my site is listed there now. They changed my site title a little by adding my domain name in front but I think its okay. I will give it a few weeks and let you know if my Y rankings get any better.

    I might have helped my pr but I had like 6,000 inbound links already and I was a pr-6 at the time so I'm not sure if it helped it or not. The next pr update I dropped to a pr-5 though.

    I think it is not worth it. You can do better things with your $ 300

    Buy 10 good related links on PR websites for $ 30 each

    if you have 299$ to buy link, I suggest you to use aviva or alive directories . i believe they are as good as yahoo directory and they are cheap than the yahoo:D

    I think its worth it if your competitors have them and you think its the only reason they are beating you on Yahoo.

    I experienced the same. The description they used did not come close to the desciption of my site. It was as if someone did a 30 second view of the site. They also placed my site in a category different than one requested and buried in a category with hundreds of submissions.

    Are you listed in regional categories such as uk.dir.yahoo.com as well? If so these are one page so you your listing wont be buried. In the main category your listing will move up as it gets more traffic.
