Yahoo listing

[tigger]

I'm looking at submitting a new site to yahoo and the category has no other listings so I'm near enough guaranteed top place. My only worry is that although it has product pages with information on the product, when you come to purchase the goods it goes to an affiliate site I'm associated with.

Do you think yahoo would reject it?

[fathom]

Many companies use 3rd party e-commerce so I doubt a rejection would occur because of this tigger. (unless the listing is for "virtual point-of-sales").

A good test... was it excepted at dmoz.org in this category?

If not listed there, recommend doing this first?

Remember that Yahoo takes your money and doesn't guarantee the listing so the "free" is a better bet, at least doing it first anyway.

I submitted it to dmoz today so I'm waiting to see what happens, but it's the yahoo listing I'm after

Yahoo has accepted all of my sites which sold only affiliate's products. I DEFINITELY wouldn't wait on a response from DMOZ before submitting to Yahoo.

Great thanks

I definatly wouldnt wait until getting accepted to DMOZ.org. In my experience, with my dozens of high quality web sites. I have either been denied by DMOZ.org, or I have never been actully reviewed due to lack of reviewers. I personally think DMOZ.org is horiable. And I bet most of you would too, unless you are the few that actully got your website accepted in dmoz.org, and in return would boost your google listing, and in return would boost your yahoo listing. Lucky, you are. My opioion is that DMOZ.org is beyond unfair and not even accurate at reviewing sites. My sites are far beyond more informative and complete than most accepted by DMOZ.org. Best of look to you when submitting to DMOZ. Btw, anyone have a contact at DMOZ that would place all your sites into the Directory. LOL That would be the easiest way I am sure.

hmmm... 3,554,274 sites - 50,149 editors - -49,772 categories

that's at least 1 editor per category.

2 months ago I would be in an agreement - lately though I think I had to wait a week (for 1)

Can you put up a temporary order form while Yahoo reviews the site?

This would ensure your "safety" in getting in.

>>Can you put up a temporary order form while Yahoo reviews the site?

I've done that before by just putting up a simple form to mail script. Once the site is in yahoo, the site gets updated.

Thanks for your help the temporary order form does seem to be the safest route, I’ll let you know how I get on
