I've herd good things about it and I herd that there was nothing great about it. Nothing negative though just that they blew 300$ for nothing. A lot of people say don't pay for it, but I had 300$ to blow and had nothing better to buy. I'll keep the thread updated on my search engine rankings and anything else that will come from it. I own a ton of different sites but I decided to go with the site with the biggest niche, if it works for my site it should work for any other niche. * If you're going to post in the thread and call me dumb or something stupid like that save your breath, I'm sure some people would like to know the outcome so then they will know if it's worth the 300$. Plus the 300$ is only a fraction of what I make everyday so it's not the big of a deal.
There was someone here on this forum touting they could get you into the Y! directory for $60. I think it was SEOPros. Try PMing him for other sites.
It's always nice to know the turnaround on investments anyone can make such as this one. Thanks for dropping the cash so I don't have to. Because at times of course I wondered if it was worth it but always shy away.
We've all been there before. If it wasn't for other people doing the same thing for me I wouldn't be where I am today. That's why I think web developers are some of the best / friendliest people in the world. It could take up to 7 days for them to approve the site though so you might want to suscribe to this thread.
If you get in with proper anchor then its best directory on internet to provide you both value and visitors.
First Day - Everything looks the same. Not in the Yahoo Directory just yet. Will keep you guys posted.
They said 7 days or sooner. I'm expecting it to be 7 but you never know. Looking at Yahoo! for my keywords I see that the top couple links are in their directory. I hope that's a good sign and not just a conscience
Welcome to Yahoo! The following URL submitted for expedited review with Yahoo! Directory Submit Order #84051726 has been added to the Yahoo! Directory: ******* 4 days after submitting the form I'm in. I will keep you guys updated on traffic and search engine increases/decreases from here on out.
yahoo directory link will not increase your page rank as they give u "nofallow" link, but link is very important in yahoo serch, your serps improve lot in yahoo and also we can expect some traffic from dir but it is not as effective as dmoz, in dmoz u get backlink and also thru feeds your link will be displayed in many sites and u get very huge no of backlinks and pr.
They don't give you a no follow they just give you a link like this http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geuuCYD...12t/EXP=1160863768/**http://www.yoursite.com/ which won't help with pr, you're right. I'm not looking to increase pr though I have a pr6 already I mean pr7 would be great but not a big deal. I herd Yahoo directory is a better source of traffic then dmoz, you just don't get the pr. I'm just doing it to see how it effects my listings in yahoo and google.
Time and time again, peopel think Yahoo skank you of indirect links to your website, but they dont. Take a look at http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:...irectory+sports+supplement&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1 it looks like a normal link right? Maybe becuase it is.
Looking at my listings today I went up 1 spot with one keyword and I went up 3 with another. I don't appear to be in yahoo's directory yet, or atleast I don't show up yet. I'm not sure if this increase came because of the directory or not. I will keep you guys posted.
You're both wrong and Terry is correct. When a search bot hits the Yahoo Directory, the links automatically become straight text links.
Okay I was just going with what I saw. I looked in the yahoo directory and it showed the link like I posted above. Anywho I'm now ranked 3rd for a search term that has 14,500,000 results. I also jumped up about 7 spots for another term that has 16,500,000 results. I still don't see myself in the directory yet.
I haven't seen any improvement in PR but after I got my site in there a few months ago I been getting a very steady trafic every day from them. It's really good to be in that directory!
