Got in through Google....Now What?

I got into Yahoo! through Google and I got into DMOZ. The question I have is that I'm not in Yahoo's "directory" though. Will it make any difference on my site's ranking if I get into their directory or not? I already have my site at #1 in a certain keyword phrase, but no where to be found in the main keywords I would like. Is paying the only way to get into their directory?

Thx!

Getting into Yahoo!'s directory will help increase your PR value.

Yahoo! most always requires a $300 submission fee (yearly) for commercial sites. But find the section you belong and click on the "submit a site" link, see if there is a free option.

Can't hurt to try.

I did submit this weekend (no charge). How long does it take? 5 months like it took to get into DMOZ?

if you submitted for free, it can take 5 months. depends on when they get to it and if they want to add you.

that is what free gets you.

keep checking the category to see if you get listed.

I've hurd that they dump free submissions once a month, so it's a good idea to submit a site once a month.
