Submitting sub-domains to directories

Is this permitted?

[Eljaybe]

I want my site(s) to be found under different categories in major directories such as Yahoo. My site has sub-domains that offer different services such as www.widgets.com/red/ and www.widgets/blue/. I need these listed under their corresponding categories in the directories, but I don't know if it's ok to submit them separately? I'm afraid Yahoo will only accept the root domain and list my site under "Widgets" instead of listing each sub-domain under more specific categories. And is it worth paying $299 per sub-domain to the Yahoo directory? Will Yahoo accept this?

Chances are strong they will not list the sub domains. The content would have to be extremely unique and not accessible from the root domain.

I have my subdomains listed at yahoo. Two languages, three subdomains each. I submitted the english versions back in the days of asia.yahoo.com (hehehe, the back door, remember?). The other languages have been listed two years ago without a problem. For free - doh! They have plenty of unique content and are unbeatable in their fields though.

>The content would have to be extremely unique

agreed

>and not accessible from the root domain.

um, only if the root domain is already listed. If not, it's unimportant.

As for the other directory: forget dmoz! Best is: submit them and forget but NEVER request a review at the rz forum after you have one of the subdomains already listed! Believe me - they will get nuked and replaced by the root domain no matter how unique, big, good, cool the subdomains are!

Well, not if they're in different languages, as yours are. You can have another listing in the ODP for each language your site is accessible in (provided it's a real translation and not just babelfished or something).

Wishfull thinking and depending on the meta/editor (re: subdomains). But let's not go this road - leads to nothing but trouble. Therefor my advice is what i've posted.

Well, not if they're in different languages, as yours are.

A bilingual subdirectory rich of content can lead up to four ODP listings as I have one (2x topic / regional). Of course not babelfished. The subdirectory's index.html is only a language splitter (correct word?), redirecting to the appropriate language index files.
Yidaki is right though. Submit, forget, don't expect anything. Maybe there will be a pleasant surprise one day.
