Default Changing my Yahoo listing

my website was scanned into the yahoo directory years ago, before the $299.00 per year fee charge. right now my website listing is

BibleBible.com
Offering an audio Bible on CD, cassette and CD-ROM.


since i am only getting about 10% of my traffic from yahoo and it should be at least double that based on market share of about 25%, i think my limited keywords in my site title has a lot to do with that.

i had gone through the effort to submit a request to change it to the sub directory person the listing is listed in, but have never gotten even one word changed.

since yahoo (i assume all search engines, want to give the best search results they can for their users) wants to give the most useful site listings, isn't it in their best interest to change this listing for the better (at least a little).

I really could use some help on this........thanks.

Not sure how you came up with this number. A directory listing has little to do with how much organic search traffic you get from Yahoo.
