    yes it worth, but mere yahoo directory link can not give you high results, after you make your site Google start indexing it automatically you need not to do anything...regarding the yahoo search - it won't put you on top in the searches ...coz., there are tons of sites which are listed in yahoo directory...it certainly give you some credit but do not put you on top.. Yahoo directory listing can give you amount of traffic, but I would suggest you to do other seo work for your site.

    It definitely helps, but is it worth the money? That is another question

    Yahoo Directory is well worth the $299 a year listing fee, if you can afford it. If not don't stress about it. Build your site to have unique quality content and you'll get the visitors and links you crave.

    Actually Yes the addition to Yahoo directory does help but as somebody said you cannot totally rely on a mere submission to Yahoo directory for getting High pageranks. It will be mere foolery. If you want high page rank then you will have to build your backlinks

    that really depends on your site objective and marketing dollar. google itself considers yahoo directory link as a quality backlink and it is proven that yahoo link helps in getting your SEPR ranking up. one good advantage of yahoo directory listing is that you get listed on yahoo regional as well so you pay for one listing and get few. what hurts is that you need to pay for your listing on a yearly basis

    Yes yahoo directory link will give you SERPs but it's very costly $299/yr if you spend the same amount you wil get many quality link whihc can gie you more profit then one single yahoo link

    If you are just starting out and have little knowledge about SEO and promoting your site and can afford it i would say that would be a good move to add it to the directory.

    Just want to make a few points:
    1. If $299 a year is too much for you than you're in wrong business.
    2. Yahoo directory listing will help your ranking as the websites are manually reviewed and directory is well regarded.
    3. Yahoo directory will bring you no traffic as no one really uses it but it lists quality websites (there're instances of poor websites but they get constantly deleted).

    Hope it will help you decide.

    Yes it helps mate, but you shouldn't waste the money until your site is already becoming somewhat successful. DMOZ, Yahoo, and BOTW are the best directories to submit after your site is growing already a bit...

    Depends. Buying into Yahoo Directory will help you with SEO because the Directory has authority. But their is also a benefit if you sell to a Worldwide Audience as you get picked up by Yahoo Directories for different countries. The benefits are not direct.

    In my experience, directories don't really help at all.

    Yes, Yahoo directory will be able to help your website but do not rely too much on it. Look for other ways.

    I agree it is going to make your website grow, but you should look for different traffic sources.
