Submitted, waiting, crossing fingers

Site submitted now waiting for the mighty editor to come..

[Rumbas]

Just submitted a site to yahoo.com using Biz Ex. The site is already doing nicely on most of the other SE's. Most traffic is centered around just a few targeted phrases. The title, description, domain name, category and registrants info all corresponds. Should it get in with the submitted info.. Ohh I would be happy.

This made me wonder what to expect from an already well positioned site regarding getting a good quality inbound link from Y. Is Y! so important that you actually would rise further to the top?

I once heard some numbers saying link pop. ODP=50, Yahoo=100, About=1000. Should this merely be a pointer.. Ohh I would be happy.

OK now you can follow these steps [members.tripod.com]. :)

LOL! :)

I just told the client and he instantly pulled a chicken in front on the pc and made a sacrifice while looking at the submission screen.

As long as he thinks it helps..

click input meta meta null null null null

I thought that was the line for ODP.

it,s a small world I say that page as part of the yahoo random link a few months ago!.:)

Yahoo!

My newly submitted site just went in with almost an identical description to the one submitted.

Just wating to see it come up in the searches as well.

It should come out very well :)

I guess it did help to do some ritual offerings - Thanks Y! editor ;)

Congratulations, Rumbas!

No way to tell whether it was the ritual chicken, the line dance, or whether you just wrote a good description. Just out of curiousity, do you recall how many words there were in the description you submitted with?

[Rumbas]

Thanks :)

Yep, the submitted description included 18 words. The editor allowed 14. The submitted contained the primary keyword maybe a little too much (3 times). The editor just cut the "over-stuffing" out. Anyway I'm thrilled ;)

It all depends on how it will settle in the SERP's - I will keep you posted.

That's great Rumbas. Proves that if you're skillful, the editors comply with your wishes.

I've had many instances where editors list a well crafted description verbatim.

Let us know how it does in the Serps!

Well, so far so good. The traffic from Yahoo directory is soothing and sliping in at 2nd best referrer. It accounts for 23% of total SE referrer. Google still King at 31% with Yahoogle following with 20%, MSN 9% and AOL search 4%.

Really good deal considering the $199 payment.

2 thoughts: How long will the "New!" logo appear and does affect traffic, maybe even click through effect enough to stay on top?

The link popularity effect from the Yahoo listing - interessting to see how much it will affect the SERPs at Google?

maybe more than 2 thoughts - but who's counting ;)
