Arrow Does Yahoo Directory let you do this....
Greetings all.

I have been tracking one of my competitors. Ironically, we know each other and done work together.

I noticed something strange about his submission to yahoo directory. He was able to get listed in multiple categories in yahoo's directory in different countries under the same service category.

How did he do this?

I was under the impression that you can only submit to 1 category. Did i miss something?

Ok cool. Im just hoping everyting goes ok because i just had my client pay 299. to get into the directory becuase i notice certain competitors were using yahoo directory.

Are you there work arounds if yahoo doesnt accept our website for some odd reason?

I did make sure that the website was up too par. no broken links etc.

when I got listed - I got about 7-8 listing. The PR is poor but I get some traffic from yahoo as a consequence.

Personally I wouldnt pay for Yahoo unless you could really afford it and you were running out of ideas. Even being #1 on search terms isnt that great on yahoo.
