Web Directories

**yellow1912** · 06:03 PM

Well, I understand that YahooDirectory (YD) will increase my PR a bit, or at least helps to increase it. But how about traffic? I mean how many people nowadays still search on Directories? I myself always use google and rarely use Yahoo web search.
Did anyone submit you site to YD, was it worth $300/year?

How about not even slightly!

Most Yahoo Directory links are via a 302 tracking redirect so pass no real SE value at all.

chris is right, however is your site just a hobby or you in for other reasons. Yahoo dir will bring you some traffic and it will make your site alot more trustworthly towards your clients.

Thank you for clarifying this. Huhm, I'd rather spend that much money on re-designing the site, improving the content to better serve my clients.

They have no money back guarantee. They could not add your site.

The fee is for a site review NOT a fee for a guaranteed listing for your site.

so as they review the site before refusing it, what you pay for has been done.

yeah its too risky. DOMZ and other free directories are better. But if you have that money to take a risk then you can. Many sites do it and some are benefited

you can find better use for this money than Yahoo.

Its great for helping your Yahoo rankings and getting a little traffic from too. I wouldnt get one unless your forced to by competitors all having links there.

I would give it a try if it was $300.00 ONE time fee but a year! Most of the bigger places are for a lifetime inclusion and just review it once a year. I might still try YD, I'm a sucker!
