What got you into Google was an inbound link. It could have been from any directory or website that Google has indexed.

I'm actually thinking the directory works against you if you've optimized your homepage for search because the directory listing is pretty plain vanilla. No keyword can be mentioned more than once or it's stuffing; yet those sites that don't use the directory display title tag and meta description conveying more information to the searcher.

Pretty bogus if you ask me. Yahoo is all about $$$, more so than Google anyway.
