Yahoo Not Able To Locate My Directory Submission?

    I decided to submit my site to the Yahoo Directory for the nice backlink and I think the category will generate some traffic as well. I submitted on June 26th. When I go to my Listings Management and click on the order number for status, I get a message The following errors were found in your submission:

    * We were unable to locate your order.

    Should I be contacting someone at Yahoo? Anyone else experience a similar issue?

    On a side note, do they usually review before the full 7 days?

    If your site doesn't meet there guidlines they just pocket your money and you get no backlink so remember that. I would contact Yahoo just to be sure tho.

    Yes, I know about the policy and my site meets the guidelines. I'm just wondering if their tracking system is bit messed up and perhaps my submission has gone off into virtual space. If it were rejected, then yes I would think for some reason it was declined. When I view the listings mgmt. page, all I see is the submission and clicking on the link generates an error. :confused:

    I guess the Yahoo gods were listening. Just got accepted and I can expect to see my listing within 2-4 days.:D

    You paid them for the directory submission, right? I decided to submit my link for free but still haven't received any response.

    I am having the same problem. My site has been in the directory for about 9 months. It still shows up in the directory, but yahoo can find my order when I tried to make changes to it :confused:

    If it's any saving grace, they did process my order and it is schedule for entry into the directory. Even after approval, they say a minimum of 2 days before entry. Not exactly speedy.

    Yes, it was a bare category, so I figured I'd get traffic and the nice backlink -- hoping it's worth the $299.
