I run a free web hosting site and my current alexa rank is about 35k. Is it worth submitting my site at Yahoo directory? The current submission price is about $299. So I need some opinions before investing on that. How will it help me? Please advise. Thanks in advance.
I've had people tell me that they get 3 or 4 hits a month from being listed in Yahoo's directory. They think the link juice is worth the $300 however. If I were you I'd focus on some web directories that are in your niche first. You can probably find some web hosting directories that are respected by the search engines and cost a lot less if you're willing to do a little work.
If you think it is a good idea, go for it! It will probably worth it but in the hard financial times, I suggest you watch every dollar you intend to spend...
You personally dont need to be listed in yahoo direc. If i was you spend that 299 in some serious link building and good promotion which will definatley help you more in traffic!
The only reason I would ever buy a Yahoo! Directory link is if I had so much money I didn't know what to do with it. It hasn't happened yet
if you really dont mind spending so much money i would rather go with business.com directory because yahoo is going down its not worth what it was anymore, but there are so many other better ways to use that money for in my opinion
that's quite a bit of sparechange right now. if i had to decide for myself now (i got the site listed in the yahoo directory some 10 years ago when it was still free), personally speaking i'd probably put it into a number of high ranking quality paid directories other than yahoo. don't know exactly about traffic from yahoo as i really don't check it often, doesn't send as much as years ago that's for sure, mostly it's google and yahoo search engines. the directories would be for the backlinks and 'link juice'... you might want to consider this list for high ranking directories to perhaps invest some time and $ in http://www.web-directories.ws/General/Paid___Reciprocal/ and i think that price is per year now too for yahoo...
hi, I thinks Submitting sites in Yahoo directory with $299 it's don't really worth because First it's Too much price to spent in Directory. Second if i have $299 budget i can submit my site in more then 2500+ Free directory with all unique C Class IP's so i can got so many Search Engine Friendly Back Links and which also improved my SERPS.
No,in your case it won't be wise to spend 299$ for Yahoo directory.The only thing you may gain is traffic from countries where Yahoo is major search engine. But,Yahoo sucks !
