I could list more but you get the idea

 

As pipes said...its a common question

 

Better still just scroll down and you'll see the related threads. Cheerio

 

If you don't want to pay the whole thing you can get a listing here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1353783 for $149. I don't recommend it. Actually, I would appreciate it if someone else went over there and told people it was a scam.

 

Your money is probably better spent on other paid directories. You'll get 3 or 4 hits a month from Yahoo's directory and some link juice. You can probably spend the $300 in several other directories and get a lot more link juice from them.

 

I host a few sites listed in Yahoo's Directory and the trouble isn;t worth it. They've all done the normal addition, not the quick one though.

 

He Pipe Cool its a Common Que....

 

It's alot of money, you may want to do a quality press release with that money, you'll get more results from that than Yahoo, and still some good page ranking too.

 

I DON'T Thinks that Yahoo Directory is worth our money.

 

Yahoo Directory I believe is a place for well established businesses just looking for any clever reputable backlink. Although it may not be cost efficient on a webmaster's part, as Matt Cutts says, the Yahoo directory has established a well editorial directory that is paid to be included, and some who do pay sometimes get rejected. I find Yahoo Directory more as a corporate/business directory because they can financially afford it.

 

It is one of the best Inorganic Links you can get and it is worth it.. And it is a Flag that your site is not spammy.

 

heck no, not these days atleast

 

Although it depends how much money your site/blog generates. For example if you are making tons of money, may be yahoo listing is not bad for $299. But for most of us, I think its a bit too costly. You can get permanent listing for $99 or so in other high PR directories too.

 

not worth it unless you have a fairly successful business

 

it depends on your site, i had a friend that tryed it for himself and found it useless, almost no traffic

 

I would not list my link for so much $, there are much other cheap directories with good pr to add to.
