Not in SERPs but in Directory

How can I get into the Yahoo! serps?

I've done hopelessly in Yahoo for eons and I'm finally pulling my finger out to try and do something about it. My site is in the directory, and has been for years, yet I'm not in the serps - a search for site:www.mydomain.com just brings up my directory listing.

I've been doing some reading here to see if there's anything I can do. I've just added a 301 redirect so non-www redirects to www.mydomain.com - could this alone have been my Achilles Heel?

My site is very Kosher; no link farms, hidden text, HTML pages with good content, well-written meta tags, good interlinking on for spiders to a merry journey around my site, etc.

The only potential issue maybe that I have other domains that are forwarded by my host to my main site. But the web forwarding is done by a frameset, eg. www.myotherdomain.com is a (100%,*) frameset that then pulls in the content from www.mydomain.com - I'm 99% sure this isn't going to produce any problems, but if it does I want to avoid buying hosting for these other domains. So what is the best way to point other domains to a main site?

Any tips to help get my site listed by Yahoo! would be great.

I too have been waiting forever to be in their index. We spend a lot of money to 1) Be in Overture (owned by yahoo now) 2) directory 3) Google 4) Findwhat. In addtion, for one of our preferred phrases, we are top 10 in both msn and google with little to no SEO, because we are dead on in topic and content. With yahoo, we are not even indexed.

Is this their way of doing business to get us to sign up for 'Search Submit Express'? I have no problem with them charging for being indexed, however, they say you can get in for free too, if you wait 6 weeks. I think they have me flagged as someone who has $ to exploit. What gives? How can I get in Yahoo's natural results? Their methodology seems a little shady and inconsistant.
