Incidentally, before G came along, Yahoo used to CHARGE websites to be included in their directory!

Not quite ..Yahoo used to charge you to be considered for entry into their directory..and if they didn't let you in..they kept your money anyway ..that was the deal ..
I smiled earlier when someone mentioned in another thread ..how they would "put you in on the phone their customer service was so good" ..but only if you had your credit card out ..around $200.00 I seem to remember..and if their reviewers didn't like your site ..they kept your money..:)
