Submitting to Yahoo! Directory

science images I submitted the site http://www.nunukphotos.com/ to the Yahoo! directory on June 12. Kind of freaked me out that they say you have to give them 299USD and they may or may not put you in the directory AND there is no refund no matter what. So far I've heard nothing. Does anyone else out there have any experience with getting into the Yahoo! directory? A friend of mine is in the directory but he says he got in years ago when it used to be free.

I have some bad experiences before with paying to get into a directory. Payed to get a Joomla site of mine into Best of The Web and they turned me down flat - saying I was a blog (which I was not).

I've also applied to DMOZ - as everyone says you should. I've heard this can take between 6 months and forever. Guess we'll just see what happens there. Anyone got any other ideas about "must be in" directories? I've heard business.com is good but it is another 299 and I don't really want to cough that kind of money up twice - at least until I can start earning some site cash.

Btw - I will post a few photos around the blog just to jazz it up a bit with some of the content that is on nunukphotos.

I think nowadays it would be a waste of money. I do just fine on Yahoo without being on their directory.

With some of the others, getting on directories is usually a one-way ticket to receiving tons of spam.

With the DMOZ, usually you've got to know someone to get in quickly.

Good luck.
