Does anyone know if Yahoo Australia directory is still taking submissions? They say they are, and there is a form for it, but as a web designer I've submitted maybe 10 quality sites over the last 12 months and none of them have been included. For those who aren't aware, Yahoo Australia directory (http://au.dir.yahoo.com/) does not provide a paid listing option like Yahoo USA, only a free submit. The thing is, it doesn't look like their actually reviewing any submissions, unless they're just taking a very long time. I tried to submit a help query through their help section, but I got a bounceback message saying their Directory team's email was no longer valid. Anyone had any success in getting listed in Yahoo Australia? Cheers Graeme
That is a great question. I am curious if people are getting approvals for free submissions on Yahoo country specific sites like Australia, Canada and Asia.
From what I can tell they stopped reporting new additions to the directory after Friday, 3 November, 2006. There is no list of new additions beyond that; this may or may not be an indication that they stopped adding new sites. I did compare the directory at yahoo.com with this regional version and it's missing a number of listings so it could appear as such.
If you do an advanced search, you get zero sites updated in the last year. I think we can safely say Rest in Peace to this directory.
Thanks for the feedback. Very strange then that they continue to not only show the directory but also still have a working submission form. Weird for such a big company. What a waste of time... Graeme
