All webmasters and businesses should want to see their site listed in Yahoo. It is still one of the more popular search engines out there and Google, for instance, takes your placement in Yahoo seriously.
Paying to be in the Yahoo directory is a really good start to getting your site listed on the search engines. It is a $299.00 yearly fee to be in the directory.
You want to be sure to pick a relevant category and have a good description because Yahoo might not list your site. That’s right, Yahoo has the right of not adding you to the directory. So you don’t want to get sneaky and putting some irrelevant keywords in the description because Yahoo might see your listing and throw it away. Also you want to be sure to not tricking the search engines. For instance, putting text the same color as your background color just to increase your placement of your page is not a smart thing to do. Because if the search engines figure out that you are doing that, they might flag you and drop you from their engine.
So the tips you want to remember are:
1. Be smart
2. Choose a relevant category
3. Have a short, precise description not just filled with a bunch of keywords
