My advice would be to save your $299 instead of paying for Yahoo's directory. You'd only be paying for headaches that I can attest to, too numerous to mention in this post. But just to give you some idea, there has historically been issues with problematic descriptions in Yahoo search results stemming from outdated and un-editable site descriptions in its directory. Not sure if that issue has been resolved lately, but that's just one example.

Definitely, I would spread the advertising across a wider spectrum of quality-traffic sites.
