I still wondering if I should pay $299 for a listing in the dir.yahoo.com directory
This is a website I've used a lot of time created and so far have about 100 backlinks for (included 3 .edu + 1 .gov). This website has it's main keyword in URL, Title and in H1 tag. My site is very optimized for it's main keyword
According to google keyword tools, my keyword get gets about 1500000 search per month. My site is currently at Google SERP is #49 for it's main keyword. In Yahoo my site is not in top 100 for this keyword. My intention is to increase traffic and when I get atleast 50 visitors on average switch over to CPA.
So my goal is that the site eventually should bring in some money based CPA.
You think it's worth to invest $299 in a dir.yahoo.com listing for my site?

To put it into perspective, I have heard a lot of arguments on this.
Some swear by it and some say its just like any other backlink. IMO big G doesn't like paid backlinks and how is this very different? So I don't see G giving it the most influence, but thats JUST me. Yah00 on the other hand probably would rank you A LOT higher for doing it cause well your paying them heh.
It seems to work for some sites but not others... if you have multiple websites you can submit it would be a worthy investment, but for one idk depends on how much you plan to MAKE on that ONE site.

yes google doesn't like paid link but google know yahoo not charging money for listing they are charging for review your website quality. I saw in one video where mattcutt was saying they know yahoo dir quality and they use for ranking too.
