Yahoo Listing without paying fee

[jambad]

I just received an ad from First Place Software (Web Position) claiming that they can get a website listed in the Yahoo directory without paying the listing fee. Anyone know what they are doing to circumvent the almighty listing fee? Its described as a "little known tip" but I have not ever heard of this.

Hi Jambad,

I heard there was a back door where you can submit a commercial site to a commercial section without paying. I don't think this guarantees the site will be listed though.

I will post the link as soon as I can dig it up.

Yahoo Backdoor [joepetrow.com]

I had better luck submitting to Yahoo Asia. ;)

I have tried the backdoor with no luck but I have had 2 sites listed in a regional section for free and both within a couple weeks. The sites were both very commercial.

I submitted a site with the back over 2 months ago, nothing yet. My 3 non-commercial sites were all put in the directory within a month. *shrug*

Yahoo! Asia still has the option to submit a commercial site to the directory using Standard Submit. It does not specify that Yahoo Express is required for a commercial listing.

Yahoo doesnt carry alot of weight as it once did, but a backdoor is always useful info to have.. thank you all.

Yahoo AU also has free entry but they warn you that it could take a while. I supplied mine yesterday but it is not yet in Yahoo. ;)

I also recently had a commercial site added free - no back door, just another Yahoo.
