Is a listing in the Yahoo! Directory still valuable in terms of Search Engine Optimization?
Posted by: Alan in search-engine-optimization
I’m considering the option of listing my website in the Yahoo! Directory. Before handing over $299, I’d like to know if it still has high value to search engine algorithms. I have heard that DMOZ.org has lost a bit of value recently, with the advent of social bookmark sites. If that is true, has anyone heard the same regarding the Yahoo! Directory?
Thanks!

well the yahoo directory doesnt give you a direct link to your site, so you dont get the seo benefit of that link.
It doesnt hurt, but is it worth it……. I honestly didnt see any changes to my traffic after trying it, and I still have less pages in yahoo than any other search engine.
