Does Yahoo Directory submission worth?

invest in adwords, best way

 

Hey all of nus seem to share the same opinion.Yes posting on yahoo usually does not fetch good results,a sheer waste of time i guess.

 

I would also advice you against the same.Use the money in Google will pay you off better.

 

That worth for a website which has good earning, however Yahoo! don't guarantee for the inclusion.

 

$300 is a very big amount, if you will pay in any other area then you can get more traffic in Search engine, so my opinion is don't pay $300 for this

 

I've submitted to 1000 directories and only 20 directories were indexed by site explorer.

 

If your site has an active user base, provides unique content that others want to see, submit your site to the open directory ( dmoz.org ). Like Yahoo's directory submission, it's not guaranteed.

Open directory is used by many other directories, however, and it couldn't hurt if your site is already complete and established. It can take weeks for your submission to be reviewed.

 

If you have extra money, then it is worths to use it. Save alot of them

 

That does seem steep.

I'd pass.

That model may have worked in the past for Yahoo, but I can only imagine less and less businesses are signing up for that.

 

I have been in the yahoo directory for years with my primary site/ source of income. At this point, I keep it in there because if it aint broke, dont fix it... however, it does seem like a throwaway of $300/ bucks a year. My rankings are very strong in google for competitive keywords.
Most of those same keywords we are nowhere to be found in yahoo... 4 or 5 years ago, I was at the top of yahoo for everything related to my industry. We still got only 20-30 visitors a day from yahoo. (Telecom stuff, voip, phone systems etc..)
I am looking at the water from my balcony thinking that if I had the 300 back... I could pay for a 20 dive package... such is life

 

i dont think it is worth the money...u can get high traffic even without submitting to yahoo

 

I think it should worth your money. Yahoo Directory also generate traffic to your site.

 

I think you'd better buy expired domains which are old enough and were included to yahoo directory before 2001.
Any commercial site submitted through the Yahoo! Directory Submit service after December 28, 2001 will be charged an annual listing fee of $299. I know that commercial sites submitted before December 28, 2001 are off the hook; They will remain in the directory but will not have to pay the annual listing fee.

PM me if you want to buy such domains.

 

there are millions of website in the directory of yahoo.
so, whos gona visit your site ? Instead of doing that, try using some services like 2000 directory submission and put this money into adwords and banner advertisement or increasing the layout and design of the site by a single bit
