Yahoo listing cost money?

[Raymond]

I was trying to submit my website to Yahoo!. It directs me to a page stating that there will be a $299 annual fee.

Do they always charge money for site submission?

Thanks in advance!

Yahoo! Charges a fee to review commercial sites, with no guarantee of inclusion. For a recent discussion of this topic see [webmasterworld.com...]

Hi Raymond,

Think very hard before submitting to yahoo dir. Is it really worth it? Now yahoo shows exactly result of google, ans it's gonna change to Inktomi soon. I did not submit my site, I dont think any sense in paying 300$ for link from yahoo.

Unless Yahoo reverts back to using directory listings as their primary results, forget about spending $300. It is not worth it at all.
