Should I spend money on Yahoo directory and Botw?

we are already listed in Dmoz.com should I spent money to list my website in Yahoo directory and Best of the web? whichh are the best paid directories to submit? and what the benefit to submit in yahoo and botw directory? does they worth the money I'll spend on them?

 

Hi Rohit,
You can do it but i think yahoo is too costly, you can submit in some other dir. you can get good links by paid link directories.

 

a link from yahoo directory will boost your ranking, but it is not cheap.

 

I would spend that money on (sshhhhhh) buying links from high quality related sites.

 

If you buy links from yahoo, it would be waste of your money. Why don't you buy links from other relevant sites or authority site?

 

other authority links? can you a few?

 

For the price they are charging, you can buy 10 time more on other quality directories.
BTW, DMOZ is a must.

 

yahoo directory link is a powerful link. google considers yahoo link as a good link and when you are listed on yahoo, you get listed on yahoo regional directories as well meaning more than one backlink. if you can justify the cost, i say yahoo link can be very valuable. as far as BOTW goes, its hard to tell. some say its a good link but i myself have not seen any noticable difference in ranking after getting listed on BOTW

 

It all depends on what you want to achieve.I have seen a site jump 10 spaces after getting a yahoo directory listing

 

I would say don't do it. And if you must buy links from directories, find some high PR directories and get links from them. If you buy paid listing on these two directories, you have to pay around $600 and you can use the same amount of money to get quality links from 15-20 high PR web directories. I hope you understand what I mean

 

I agree with this - you spend that money to buy links from relevant sites and you can donate that to some .org sites and get the valuable backlinks from them..

 

Can you please show me?

Personally I don't think Yahoo directory really help... IMO better to pay other good directories or work on other aspects.

 

i paied for yahoo directory i didn't seen any outrageous results

 

My opinion : Yahoo directory will increase the ranking. But it is not worth the money you pay for it. Because you can achieve the same improvement using some very cheap methods...

 

Well, it is reommended to submit Yahoo directory as often it helps in ranking as well as you get a quality back link to your site and same with botw directory and also from these directory you need not to wait to get listed like DMOZ and other popular Free directories.

 

I think it will not be worth of the money you spend. Too costly if you will go for Yahoo.

 

Do read All You Need to Know About SEO above your thread, "What about META tags?" part

 

I wondered the same thing a few years ago.....so i shelled out the $300 for Yahoo Directory. Guess what....I got ZERO traffic from my listing. And it only counted as one backlink (a weak one at that)

Spend that money some other way! PPC, Hiring someone to build backlinks....whatever. Buying into directories is dead!

 

I am still very much confused about it. I have posted the same question in 3-4 webmaster forums, 70% them told me not to invest in yahoo directory but 30% does recommend it. what i can see is most of the sites which are ranking very well in google are listed over there. my website is ranking very good for my present keyword which are longtail keywords and dosnt bring much visitors to my website. now we are going in to phase II and we'll target some more competitive keywords. my question is would my website get any benefit from being listed in yahoo directory? My God m so confused

 

As you are saying 70% are disagree with not to use yahoo,,then why are you going or want to use yahoo direcotry ..there are lots of options and mostly seo use those options that are cheps..so experts SEO are in demand ..by spending money any one can make back links ,but by free directory and useful tactics not all...
