Removing site from Yahoo directory

[nozzmoking]

To cut a very long story short, my site is 'stuck' at the bottom of the Yahoo directory/search.

Yahoo search doesn't find us, unless you enter the company name as a search keyword.

Yahoo search won't pull up my site on any related keywords, even if I add the town, county details etc.

The site was submitted back in 2001.

Another forum poster advises I opt my site out of the directory, and then hopefully, Yahoo search will pick the site up and rank accordingly.

As I have nothing to lose I think this is probably a good idea.

My questions:

1. Has anybody here pulled their site successfully from the Yahoo directory?

2. I believe there is a Yahoo page dedicated to site changes, removal etc. Do you think I might have to wait months to get this request actioned?

2. What would you suggest I say to Yahoo as the reason for wanting my site removed?

3. Do you think it might work, i.e. Yahoo will begin to index my site correctly?

4. Anyone else tried this approach, if so, successful?

Any thoughts much appreciated!
