    The $299 only gets them to look at your site, it does not guarantee that your site will get it.

    I didn't know that you could submit your site for free, what page did you use to submit for free?

    Goto the category your site should be in and on the bottom of the page is a "Suggest a Site" link. From there you can select paid or free submissions.

    You're correct, that's how I submitted mine. So far traffic from being listed in the MySpace category on the Yahoo Directory is about 10 uniques a day... not anywhere near where I thought but I am getting an increase in my Yahoo search rankings since being accepted.

    Nice one Shauner - I personally paid the cash a little while ago for PokerDIY - I'll never know if I could have got in free ;)

    Thanks for the tip. I submitted also a requested to get listed. Now fingers crossed. I have also submitted a feed with the yahoo site explorer tool to get more pages indexed.

    You can only submit for free non-commercial websites. If you are making money of your website (i.e. selling goods and services), then the free submission does not apply to you.

    I did pay the $299 fee for Yahoo to take a look at my site. I do hope that I will get accepted.
