I think I might have once had a Yahoo paid directory listing right after the turn of the century, I believe, but have ignired it completely for a long time. What is the concensus these days as to whether an annual paid directory listing is worth it?
It may be helpful, but I would only recommend it for websites in competitive industries that need all the help they can get for rankings.
There are better ways to spend your $299. Just because Yahoo directory exists doesn't mean you have to get your site listed there. Maybe when yahoo reduces the price to something more reasonable.
for an auctual 'company' website, not a blog or what have you, $299 is a very small amount in comparison to other marketing options, and often the lifetime value of even just 3 new clients is enough to cover the initial outlay, making it a wise investment.
so has anybody out there paid the yahoo directory deal and noticed a traffic jump afterwards? That would be telling. J
I has stopped my site yahoo list just a few day. It is not worth $299 anymore to get a Yahoo directory list now.
Me too , why not save youself usd299. It brings little traffic for your site. usd 299 could get better rank and traffic.
Forget Yahoo Directory! Optimize your site and submit to Yahoo Search! About 30% of my clients' traffic comes from Yahoo Search and it is FREE. Similarly MSN Live, for some search demographics, provides 25% of ALL my clients traffic. Stop whining and start optimizing and submitting (for free)!
Guys i want to know what is the use of buying link in yahoo directory . Will that boost my page rank or it is only for business purpose .
You are better off spending that towards Adwords campaings. I did this several years ago and got maybe 1 conversion out of it...27 dollars.
just d it if you already done other ways of promotin and have spare mone to spend. or I would suggest you t spend 299$ on other ways that's more effective.
If you have a lot of money to spare and have done all other work SEo,100K directroy submission, blaaa2.. then go and submit to it.
I think you are right . In this amount we can use others services and get good boost too . I think in this amount we can run ads campaign on adbrite for long period .
