Submitting Your Site to the Yahoo! Directory - Enhanced Listings in the Yahoo! Directory

Commercial sites, listed in the Yahoo! Directory via the Yahoo! Express expedited listing service, are eligible for the Yahoo!’s Sponsor Listing program. This opportunity is only available to Express listings, in the eligible Business and Economy categories, and sub-categories of the directory. The appropriate application page can be found here: https://ecom.yahoo.com/fast/sponsor?spLMC.

Websites that become Sponsor Listings appear in their proper directory category, in a special on page section. Sponsor Listing sites are also highlighted, to stand out, in the regular alphabetical categories.

The Sponsorship pricing varies by category. Some categories are priced as low as $30.00 US per month, while other directory category monthly fees can run as high as $300.00 US. A few categories are priced even higher and are handled through the Yahoo! advertising sales program.

Only one website can be entered into the Sponsor Listing system at a time. Any other sites you may have must be submitted separately.

Wrapping it up

Submitting your website to the Yahoo! Directory is expensive for businesses with lower budgets. Be sure to examine whether the cost of submission is justified for your company. All businesses are different. Some companies can easily justify the annual recurring directory charges. Other businesses cannot.

If you feel the fees are within your budget, and the additional traffic is profitable for you, then by all means submit your site to the Yahoo! Directory
