I know that there are lots of ways to spam Google and the other search engines but what opportunities are there to spam Yahoo.
Are there any guidelines as to what they deprecate or does anyone have any info. My interest is merely so that I can check out my site to ensure that it complies.

That's right. And Y! will except pretty much anything into it's human edited directory.

At $300 per year who can blame them?

JudgeJeffries, I'm not sure I understand your question.

There used to be lots of ways to spam Yahoo, but since they've been featuring Google's results and hiding the Directory listings, there's no reason to spend much time on Yahoo.

If your site contains some unique content & is relatively well coded, you should be able to get listed (if you pay of course).

If you can get listed in categories that get served high in the SERP's, you could still get traffic through those listings.
