Impossible to get my reviews listed on Yahoo?

[irock]

I run a PC hardware review site, and I was wondering if it's now impossible to get my reviews listed on Yahoo directory. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Have you written to Yahoo?

I have tried to submit several reviews without any feedback from Yahoo if that's what you meant.

irock I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. Do you want individual pages listed? Do you want your site listed? If you give more specifics perhaps we could help with more concrete advice.

Sorry, I want individual reviews, such as the Creative 20GB NOMAD player, listed in their respective categories on Yahoo. However, from my experience, Yahoo people didn't bother to list them even though the submissions could be great contributions to thier near empty category.

I guess this will not necessary as Google search results have taken over Yahoo.

The only reason I'm trying to get into Yahoo is to get higher link popularity, which Google weighs heavily on during PR calculations.

Sorry for the confusion.

Hey Irock,

You're right about everything mentioned here. I wouldn't worry to much about the Yahoo category listing. You can get the review pages listed in Google. Also, since you're offering valuable content, you shouldn't have too much trouble getting people to link to these pages. I think sometimes people overestimate the value of a Yahoo link.

So instead of wasting your money on submitting to Yahoo or worrying about directory listings, I'd try to get links to your content reviews pages in order to get these pages ranked with Google.

As long as you are not (overtly anyway) selling stuff, Zeal and/or ODP may be open to listing some individual reviews.
