While I realize that their numbers are off and not dependable, Marketleap.com tries to show the amount of backlinks. Yahoo is eliminating quite a few backlinks as being registered or having a different idea of counting which backlinks are valuable or should be counted. Morgan, if you have an insight to this, please share.

I hope so, we went from #15 to not in the top 150 in the matter of a week. I am still wondering if we are being punished for not buying a $299 listing!

I know Morgan is all for it and I am wondering that same question about the worth of Yahoo directory. I also went down from 14 to off the radar for my town. Patience, I guess, patience.

If it helps... I have not paid for a Yahoo! Directory Listing for any of my sites and they are #1 in Yahoo for each of their target keywords.

I finally overtook another Point2 Agent site with no links, less content (she didn't even change many of her pages from the original template) & no mls that had #1 position for quite some time. Now I'm #1 again! (I was #1 for a while until I changed my url). Took a lot longer to regain my position than I thought it would. I was fluctuating between first & second page prior to this change so I hope I stay there.

I'm also #1 with another site for kw's I didn't expect. Plus I at least appear in the lst 2 pages for a new set of kw's I'm working on where I was nowhere to be found before.

With one of my newest sites I'm #3 for my main kw's. And I can't believe I'm on the radar for some kw's on my brand new site (#30). I wasn't going to bother checking.

I have never paid for a Yahoo directory listing.
