Default Yahoo Directory Listing? - 08-01-2004 , 09:51 AM






I know that the current opinion is that to pay the $300/yr for a Yahoo
directory listing may be a poor investment but I'm reconsidering.
I should add that I already am listed with our main site but now have a new
site specifically for a single product.
The category I would probably be listed has a PR of 4 and the added chance
of being listed on other search engines with the exposure may be of value.
I should add that in my industry a PR of 4 is good and the chance of getting
IBLs is low since the industry is way behind the times with its' thinking.
Any opinions?

TIA

It all depends. How many sales would it take to recoup $300.00 ? I get quite
a number of visitors through my Yahoo listings, and they do tend to convert
well into sales .

You seem to be in #1 position already for <AutoDrill's Production Drilling
Website> in http://search.yahoo.com. Did you give them the $300 ?

Best regards, Eric.

At present I have two "grandfathered" free listings in Yahoo Directory.
When the directory was used heavily for Yahoo SERPs the response was great.
I now have to do much more to stay near the pack with CPC , SEO work etc.
The new directory submission will be another site with completely different
products and content.

Thanks

Never paid for directory listings but have many sites at #1 in Yahoo.

Good SEO works wonders on that site.
