		<description>I honestly don&#039;t remember. It was nearly 3 years ago. The site does rank well and has for some time, but not sure how the Yahoo listing impacted that in the beginning. 

Really the only thing I remember is that is accounted for quite a few solid links. This was back when toolbar PR was more accurate than it is today and I believe a good majority of those pages were 5&#039;s and 6&#039;s. WIsh I could be more helpful :)</description>

		<description>Hi Josh,

Thanks for stopping by.  

Did you notice any real difference in rankings?  I&#039;m very skeptical, but with everyone from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.seobook.com/archives/001958.shtml&quot;&gt;Aaron Wall&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.seofaststart.com&quot;&gt;Dan Thies&lt;/a&gt; recommending it, I figured it was worth a try.

I&#039;ve documented the positions on 30 of my keywords.  I don&#039;t plan to do any SEO work on the site for the next month.  I want to see if the Yahoo Directory Submission has any effect and just how much.  I&#039;ll keep you posted.</description>

		<description>I paid for a listing a couple years back for an old tourism Website.

It&#039;s actually more than one strong link... You get a link in your respected category in all of Yahoo&#039;s Country directories.

Is it worth $299? hmm that&#039;s debatable, but it&#039;s certainly not a waste of money!</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t really see how Google could lend any weight to it at all.  After all, they are now the paid links police.  Isn&#039;t paying for inclusion into the Yahoo Directory the same as buying a link?</description>

		<description>Interesting, I never even thought about inclusion into the Yahoo! directory because of the high listing price, keep us updated about how you experience this! I am looking forward if it has any effect</description>
