That is pretty slick.....not so bad for WW though.

[rcjordan]

Very nice. Is it a straight link? Pass PR? hhh!

[lawman]

No link = I guess you have to figure out the dot com by yourself. :)

[WebGuerrilla]

I guess that means Tim's check cleared O.K. :)

[annaz1]

Great!

Clearly very intelligent people over there at Yahoo! I have high hopes for them. :-)

[EliteWeb]

Yahoo may make it through this year ;) Or they are prepping us here for a downfall. Make us happy for a bit then gouge us with prices for inclusion ;)

Congrats on the good link WW :P

[sem4u]

Good news! :)

[eWhisper]

Too bad it's not a straight link and people have to figure out how to get here - guess it'll keep some newbies from finding this place.

Good news if your goal in life is to see an increase in "why isn't my site in Yahoo" questions.... :)

[sem4u]

I'm sure that the Yahoo forum will become pre-moderated soon....

I can't wait for the update threads if Yahoo decides to update their index in that way. :)

>>if your goal in life is to see an increase

seems to me that this WW train can't be slowed either. no way.

Poor Brett this WW thing just won't go away will it. It has become quite the beast. Brett may have to buy a building and have several hundred employees one day.

bad it's not a straight link and people have to figure out how to get here

I think the recommendation means more than a link to WW
It's means that WW is
- The official forum for SEO :)
- The most Search Engines Friendly Forum

[pleeker]

That's a great tip o' the cap to WebmasterWorld, no doubt about it. :)

Or if one of the goals is to educate...

[lawman]

[Abdelrhman Fahmy]

Thats what I like about you Steve, you are always looking for the positives.

[internetheaven]

Sorry all you wonderful, giving, caring people but I'm on Steve's side here:

"Good news if your goal in life is to see an increase in "why isn't my site in Yahoo" questions"

I'm all for helping out the poor defenseless webmasters but they won't be here for optimization advice, they'll all be here to speak to Tim. This will end up with Tim turning off his sticky and generally not being as involved in forums.

[steveb]

Well, that's not my side.

See this >>>>>>>>>>>>> (:

It's called a smiley.

As in joke.

I suppose it could be a deliberate attempt by Yahoo to get people asking questions here instead of emailing them, but big deal. I'm sure it will mean more of the same question ("why am I not in Yahoo?"), but again, big deal. The more the merrier.

Maybe Tim's sticky can be programed to disintergrate anything with "why am I not in Yahoo?" in the text.

[internetheaven]

Sorry Steve, didn't mean to make you out to be something you're not. I've never been very good at the whole 'internet lingo' and 'smileys'. I only found out yesterday what LOL meant.
