Default Yahoo Directory worth the $299?

We're considering paying to be listed in the Yahoo Directory.

1. Do you think its worth the $299?
2. Will we get in? (our site can be found in the signature)

I realize for most RE sites the Yahoo Directory is probably a waist of money, but for RE biz sites it could be worth it. Heck, even Google still recommends submission.

- woops, just realized this should be under the yahoo thread. sry

Do a search under the Yahoo thread for your answer. I am still considering the fee, but have not yet pushed the button.

yes, worth the money, and their review will tell you if the site is good or not. Also you can consider this list of directories:

I paid it for years. Don't know why I paid a submission fee more then once. There is a way to to it for less than $60 if you look around.

I stopped paying and I am still in there.

If I remeber correctly the avivadirectory has had all of its link value purged, and is one of the directories that google has hand audited recently.

Click Here for more info on directories recent problems with google. Even if you do buy into one of these directories, its best to use a no-follow on your link to show google you're advertising, not gaming the index.

Ahh yes... the Age Old Questions...

Which came first - the chicken or the egg?
and,
Is the Yahoo Directory listing worth the $299?

Interesting news about Aviva and the other directories. I guess it was just a matter of time.
