Still worth the US$600 for Yahoo Directory Listing?

YES (if you know what you do)
Otherwise NO.

I pay, but I dunno if it's worth it.

Seems like you'd be better served using that $600 on Yahoo PPC program to promote your site. By they way that $600 does NOT guarantee a listing. It's guarantees your site will be reviewed for consideration.

If you have a decent site and are looking for SE traffic yes.

Shit site and hope to get enough hits to pay for the listing, no.

**fris** · 05-04-2007, 03:26 PM

even if you pay for the listing they can remove you at any time. has happened to a few people.

I've gotten a few free listings over the years and it used to be worth it but not really so much lately. Like the guy said above it may be worth it if you have the right site in there, I don't.

I burned $100 in a day for my phrases as a test with Yahoo ppc. v popular search terms.

As there's no guarantee of inclusion and no money back even if not accepted, I think they can go fuck themselves.

Any dodgy yahoo workers who want a backhander let me know

almost worthless..

i paid for inclusion and directory listing.. . in 1 year i got about a dozen hits total..

Good optimization will get you all the traffic you can capitalize on from Yahoo. Their algorithm isn't that tough, just keep it clean.

I think the directory limits you a lot on normal search terms. I bought a site quite some time back that has a few yahoo dir listings.

Well the site only gets listed in the normal search serps for the same directory terms but almost nothing else. Meanwhile the site has always done great in google, but I can almost never get good listings on yahoo.

Maybe someone else could confirm that they have had the same issuies.. would be interresting to say the least.

That was probally you're problem( very popular search terms ). By the way $100 a day is nothing.

It may depend on the number of listings in the category. For example, a sex toy site will be included with over 1,000 other similar sites, and basically be lost. So, that is probably NOT worth it.

If the category has only a few listings, it might be worthwhile.

**Brad Gosse** · 05-05-2007, 11:45 AM

It's worth it. I buy it for all my sites

Still worth the US$600 for Yahoo Directory Listing?
