You will find 410 websites in regular listing $299. If you add your site, it is highly possible that you get included in page 8-9.
It would be of no use to get listed in that position. I would rather go for small directories which charge 2-5 dollars, and they will also make your site on page 1.
However the priority of Yahoo directory is high, but if you get listed in pages 8-9 for that amount, then its the time to look for some other directories within your specific business niche. |
You've completely overlooked the usage of Directories for
local search. Over 40% of buying related searches are for a merchant that is in the customer's locale, and usage of Directories for such continues to increase.
For those merchants who both have brick-and-mortar, and want customers to be able to locate them, Directories, including Yahoo's, are not to be ignored.
