Yahoo Directory - Is it worth it?

It is worth it for me. I made it in the 'popular' sites and tons of keyword phrases in Google land in the that yahoo directory

For 2 months it paid off the 600 bucks only with initial sales.

It's an adult personals site and I submitted it about 2 months ago.

If you have decent content, not just banner farm they'll list you.

That sounds pretty much like the type of site that I know yahoo does accept with their $600 deal.

I've heard 3 or 4 stories of TGPs and start-up linklists being rejected with the same deal, altho none of these were recent, most a year or so ago.

As always with yahoo directory, much depends on which reviewer you get, some have been known to be very lenient. There was a time when the directory was filled with pretty cheesey sites, redirecting straight to sponsors and stuff like that.

I haven't looked in the directory lately.

If Max wants to get more info on wether or not to risk the $600, the best thing to do would be to study the category of the directory he wants to buy into, and see what their new sites look like. Then, basically build something similar in form, with equivalent but different content.

Bottom line, you have to be willing to lose the $600.
