    Is it really needed for a keyword-rich site to come up in the rankings?

    Don't think it's worth it... you could do a lot of directory submissions with that money

    Yea, I agree. It's a waste of money. Tune your site properly, and don't worry about it!

    I think that the OP ask if directory submissions help more than a keyword rich site.
    So if this i the question the answer is that if you dont do both you are not going to reach first page of G for a competitive keyword.

    I heard u get 1 or 2 clicks on it perday.Those are targeted clicks. Thats about 365 to 730 click peryear, so its up to u to know if that amount is worth it or not.

    Why would you pay for entry into Yahoo?

    Produce a good site, optimize it for Google, then submit your site through the free Yahoo link; it'll do fine!

    BTW, one of my clients gets a third of their organic search results from a free Yahoo submission than has 1st and 2nd SERPs on their primary keyword.

    I think it's worth it if you have the budget, since it will help a lot in SEO.

    I think submitting to Yahoo Directory is more or less a status symbol these days. One can use that money and split it among other quality directories and get a better result than submitting to Yahoo Directory.
