If you perform a search for this listing on Yahoo:
FinancialWeb Dictionary - provides definitions to common investment terms.
You will find that it leads to an affilaite Site and then manually redirects from there!
Anyone?

Probably got in through bait and switch. Yahoo is bad about rechecking sites once they are in (other than for dead links via robot) and they don't seem to reply to spam reports either, both of which degrade the quality of their directory.

Thanks JR. One would think, if they are hurtin for cash, (and we know they are!)that they would weed out spammers daily in hopes that they will want to re-submit and pay all over again :)

It's not just YAHOO! The same occurance is found in other directories. With people making up companies called www.keyword-keyword-keyword-keyword-keyword-keyword.com with a barely enough "content" to sneak through, or the ol switcheroo, it degrades the overall searching experience.
