Yes. If your site is a non-profit website, you can submit your site for inclusion for free. There is no guarantee that your site will make it though.
My free software site was listing on there for free, I didn't even submit it. Within a few months of starting to charge for some programs it was gone.
Can you provide a link for free submission; I don't see a form for Free Submission. Thanks in Advance.
there is no link for free submission in the United States. If you try to submit outside the US, then you will see it.
Yes, there is. For example, here is the link that gives paid and free options in the religion listings — http://add.yahoo.com/fast/add?53736564. However, I've tried the free option for my nonprofit site for four years without success.
sorry i mean for commercial sites. if you go to another country you won't see the payment option. I haven't seen one yet (in another country)
Yes, I believe non-profits can get listed on the directory for free. Otherwise, businesses pay $300 a year, according to what I've heard.
Yahoo is in the business of making money.. I wouldn't pray and hope that they'll eventually accept you for free. They want your money and that's the simple fact. If you think being in the yahoo directory is worth your while, then by all means, pay for it and get it included almost instantly. I would also suggest business.com if it fits your site.
I wouldn't bother if a website told me I could get listed in Yahoo for free. Yahoo doesn't give you free inclusions unless it is a non-profit website. So what they may be doing is agaisnt Yahoo's rule. You wouldn't want to get on Yahoo's bad list just because of it now would you?
I have submitted my sites using the free option but its not been approved till date. I'll try submitting my sites again coz the last time i submitted my sites was about a year back.
And even then there's no guarantee. My site is a religious, nonprofit one. And I've not had any success getting into Yahoo by the free option for the past several years.
It's not easy to get accepted by Yahoo for free. I speculate it's because there is a lack of manpower, and they are loosing business to a degree, so they focus more on the paid submissions.
