I want to be able to track hits in my logs from Yahoo Directory.

Can I use?source=Yahoodirectory at the end of of my url when I submit to Yahoo?
Thanks in advance, WFN :)

probably not

But you wouldnt want to anyway, as it would water down the PageRank transfer.

If you have access to your logs, you can see the referrals there, no need to waste your PR.

Web Footed Newbie, I wouldnt go the route you are suggesting. I use Absolute log analyser which tracks how much of my traffic comes from yahoo and google. it is quite accurate and works well.
