Why am I listed in Yahoo/Overture?

    I have a very new site, new enough that Google does not have it listed at all. Yet I find it's listed in Yahoo as an Overture listed item. The domain is only a couple months old.

    I thought that had to be paid for?

    do you mean the yahoo directory? maybe the domain had expired, hence seemingly new when u acquired it but was actually a listed site in the Y directory previously. Does the description match your site? Mybe someone was just being nice and submitted it for you :D

    Are you sure it's appearing under the sponsored Overture listings?

    It has the correct description.

    It's listed with the words (additional listing) after it. That clicks to :

    Additional Listings may include links to sites that participate in the Content Acquisition Program (CAP). CAP enables content providers to submit web content directly to Yahoo! for review and inclusion in the Yahoo! Search index; content providers that participate in CAP through the Site Matchâ„¢ program pay for these services. Participation in CAP does not guarantee placement or ranking in search results.

    The only paid submssions were to Skaffe and Kingbloom
