    Do you expect a good return on $300? If that is the case, goahead and submit your site.

    Of course, I have seen someone do it so I know what to expect.
    I know what types of sites wouldn't be good.

    So ddomingu you are saying he changed his site after?
    it used to be quality?

    Yah, $300 for a year I hear is alright.
    Especially a site that ranks very high.

    it was probably bought after it expired. People specifically go after domains like that.

    for me i dont want to spend 300$ for listing. it might be better to spend it for buying good permanant PR links. or spend for building backlinks for traffic.

    Yahoo's "guidelines" are as follows.

    A.You give them money.
    B.They list your site.

    For $600 they'll list porn sites, so it's not like they have overly strict "guidelines"
    (though I'm sure there are no hate or overly sick fetish sites listed, but I'm not sure because I rarely use yahoo for anything.)

    Personally I find the quality of the Yahoo directory dubious at best. It's amazing what $300 will do, there are a number of sites in there that would never pass into say for example the ODP. Well unless it was the ODP editors own site maybe :)

    Total waste of money. Dont buy unless you are selling products.

    Why spend 300 dollars to get into Yahoo? For SEO? Come on!!! However, if you are submitting for traffic related issues then its a good deal I guess.... Yahoo is number one in terms of traffic! Weird!

    $300 is expensive. Kinda ridiculous if it's not even to rank well.
