Yahoo Directory

    I'm curious, is it worth the money to get added to it? I heard it will bring in some traffic, but exactly how many people actually search the yahoo directory now days?

    For $299 yearly, you are better off buying content for your site. It won't bring much traffic anyway.

    it really depends on what kind of webmaster you are and what kind of business are you running.
    If you think your customers would be interested where your website is listed, then I guess you should do it.
    Personally, you could invest that money into your site and you will be way better off than buying listings on yahoo dir.

    In fact, you would be better off if you would take a look ar the service forums here, buy some that better fits your website needs.

    Its just a thought though ..

    $299 is too much, it's not worth the money, and I have heard from many people
    that it does not send very much traffic.

    I would say if you have a large budget then yes its worth it, If not then no you could spend your money more wisely, such as content for your site, site design, hiring a SEO expert.

    I'd say that this is like a legit company scamming people...I wouldn't pay for that unless I was a business entity.

    even if is not sending traffic will help you to grow dramatically your authoritative presence ... ( its almost similar with other paid and good directory's around ). So if you have some bucks to role out .. I think its worth

    dont bother with that crap, i would recommend overture, it has a much better convertion rate than adwords and atleast when someone clicks and lands on your site you then will pay :)
