Most of your referrals will come from search.yahoo.com, and not dir.yahoo.com.

search.yahoo.com basically searches the description you submitted to yahoo, and if there's anything in it, perhaps the category you are in.

Also you need to give Yahoo time. Atm I get about 100-150 referrals from yahoo (a month), when it started (the first week, when you are under "newly added") it was incredible, 50-60 a day, then it sacked down to about 10-15 a day.

Oh, while you are at it: don't focus on yahoo too much. Sure its a nice way to draw traffic, but there are others.

More or less submit your site to all engines out there you can find plus dmoz/odp. Some day it might pay.

Also think about something else: all the SE/Directory does is get you the visitor, you'll still want to capture his/her interest, and possibly want them come back regularly.

hi
thank you and i want to ask about yahoo payment. some friends advice me to don't use that way but the other advice me to ust it but i can't get the good choice! what about your opinion?

Personally, I paid for yahoo, to get included in the index.

What it gets you is usually a listing in 2 categories

a) the category of your choice (like /b2b/widgets/widgets)
b) the regional listing (/regional/countries/yourcountry/b2b/widgets/widgets)

Is it worth the USD 200 they charge?- Depends, but since my client is in the investment goods market that kinda expense is paid with the first order, with travel, I don't know.

If you just get 10% extra traffic, would that be worth 200 USD? (and in my case it was much more than that)

on yuo to decide
