    I was curious if anybody here has gotten into the yahoo directory via the free submission.

    I have, the site had no ad and lots of content. I also got a very nice email from the editor telling me the site was listed

    Yup - I've gotten 3 blogs listed there now - they were all good ones, mostly personal blogs and they were listed within the first 6 months after submission - better than DMOZ imo.

    Are they static or redirect links?

    An amusing page on getting listed for free at Yahoo is Yahoo Free.

    Whoa... I thought they were plain HTML links... but instead this is what I see:

    Yep, my fan club site in sig has been in since maybe 1998. I never submitted either.

    And yeah Y! switched to scripted links about 4 months ago. That's why there are so many "is it worth $299.00?" threads.

    Wow. I am amazed.

    It wasn't worth $299 before... now it's worth very very close to nothing.

    I wonder why on earth they did that?

    I believe some locational yahoo directories are still offering static links
