A website I used to work on is listed on !Y, and gets whopping %0.03 of its traffic from !Y directory. Do people still do it just for the sake of the Page Rank? Is it worth spending $300 for that?

Do people still do it just for the sake of the Page Rank?

I don't think I'll have the income to try for 299 dollar link, but I believe they still offer free links to some categories. Sounds pretty screwy, but I’m glad it eventually worked out for you!

The web is just so big I guess sometimes you just miss stuff! Anyways, looks like I will be paying for a Yahoo! Directory Listing now! Great content here... it's a definite bookmark!

Yahoo list can have a negative effect this way. You can throw in some words besides you official name to your title however these often get edited like your description (even if it's all proper English) and you're left with a title without your keywords. And there is no way to complain about it. I heard some people complained or asked for a refund, they never got a reply. Unfortunately it’s true. Yahoo list can have a negative effect this way.

There has been lots of calls for Yahoo to do something similar for a while now. They’ll have to get around to it soon – with Google granting the accurate backlinks wish, the pressure is on yahoo!
