    Default Yahoo Directory worth the $300

    I am cheap and considering buying a listing in the yahoo directory. Is it worth it? Do you see any significant changes in the serps? I would like to know, I rank really well #3 for bellingham real estate depending on the dc will it be enough to help it rank higher?

    It should help you with Yahoo. It's one of the better directory links that you can have and I recommend it, but some say it is too expensive, but to each their own.

    Cool thanks for the information. I guess your right they do syndicate or other sites scrape the directory for links.

    At this point and time in the market are there really that many links added via scrapping? I mean how many new directories could there be and how many of these survive long enough to get page ranking that will make their links worth anything?

    Scrapping is when other humans or robots copy and paste a websites content into their websites.

    Default It's scraping

    Might help if these folks got the right spelling. It's "scraping" not "scrapping" (as in "scrape") and involves an automated process for copying content from one site to another.

    Yahoo directory is not cheap but should give you your moneys worth.

    Yahoo directory? Definitly not worth the money.

    It's a directory link which has been paid for ... Google would value a well ranking natural looking link any day.
