Back Door into Yahoo Directory (save $300)

**battman323** · #1 (**permalink**) 01-14-2008, 11:02 PM

Even Google encourages sites to get into the Yahoo directory, but $300 a year is a bit steep, and I hate paying for anything I can get for free.

The secret is:

The Yahoo Canada Directory. Yahoo is trying to build it bigger so they are accepting free submissions. Here's a video showing it:

Code:

1) Go to http://ca.dir.yahoo.com

2) Pick the best category for your site

3) Click the suggest a site button inside category

4) Click on the free submission button on the right hand side

5) Enter your site's information and submit

I went a little crazy and submitted a lot of sites at once and it gave me an error after a while, so don't try to spam it. Submit gradually.

Like the post? You know what to do and what not to do, right?

Sorry but... what's the difference?!

You can do free submissions on yahoo.com also, altought they wont get you nowhere.
The $300 is for the review, and even so, the inclusion is not guaranteeded.

Maybe I didn't got it right?!

Thanks for announcement. I've already submitted a couple of sites a few days ago, but these aren't listed yet. I suppose these Yahoo guys do manual verification and approval one by one; I can't explain it otherwise.

Try every country. Would it work faster with some of the countries were yahoo doesn't have so many people trying to submit their site. I dont know.

Nice one tho.........

I still don't get it, sorry. How new is this? You will submit it, as always, and you won't get listed, as always... Can someone explain to me what am I missing? It would be indeed great, if possible. Maybe I am not seeing it right.

The difference is that the Canada yahoo directory is actually accepting commercial sites via free submission. The US Yahoo directory only accepts non-profit sites free of charge.

I don't get it either. We're talking about Canada. They speak french. Michael Moore loves the place. Seems very un-patriotic.
