Yahoo! UK & Ireland free submit

Anyone had any success in last 4 months?

Last year I had a 100% success rate in getting sites included in Yahoo UK & Ireland using free submit ('standard consideration'). In the past four months I've failed to get three new sites listed. Has anyone else noticed a tightening up by Yahoo?
I'm sort of hoping the fault is with my submissions - much rather that than for Y! to be going pay-for-consideration only in UK & Ireland same as in US.

Got a free listing here for our new site in 10 days a few days ago.

Nearly fell off me chair!

The best success will be achieved in categories that have few entries. It's worth looking for a secondary category than not getting listed at all.

thanks engine. Thing is, I'm submitting to the same / similar regional catagories in Ireland, which aren't busy! Similar businesses (all small businesses located in west of Ireland), sites built in a similar way (mainly flat HTML, nothing spammy, all cross-browser/platform (incl. NN4) compliant. Not templates either.). The only thing that has changed is that last year they were getting listed, this year they're not.
I just wondered whether it signalled a tightening up by Y!
Crome-Yellow's post gives some hope though (btw, best I had was two days - yes, TWO days from free submission to confirmation email!)

quiet_man, yes, i'm getting things in, but not tried Ireland. I'd keep plugging away without spamming their submissions inbox.

Good luck.

Had a Free one go in after 3 days earlier this month for UK .... submited a few others in a variety of catagories ( none Ireland ) but no luck yet!
