yahoo listing worth to pay?
I tried Google Adwords Select with just moderate success.. so I'm considering to get our website listed on yahoo, do you think its worth the US$ 299 per year?

Remember that this is not a guaranteed listing. If you think you have good chances to be listed - yes. However if there are 1000's sites like the one you want to submit, it may be a full loss.

I think they will add most paid submissions, however, if you get listed on a page with `100 other sites like your, its not all that great.

Yahoo's got too big for it's own good. I can't remember the last time I used Yahoo to search for anything. It's just a big complex field, filled with a lot of rubbish. Trying to find what you're after with Yahoo is like look for a single piece of hay in a big pile of needles
So in short, no, I don't think Yahoo is worth paying for.

It really depends on what kind of sites. I used to have a site which was the only one for several keywords and it brought me 30%+ of my traffic. It can be big! And no, not all paid listings are accepted, from what I heard they've refused to include SitePoint in their directory (someone said this a while ago, maybe now it's included).
eCommerceBase.com, PromotionBase.com, SitePointForums.com have not been included. Were these sites submitted? Did Yahoo actually reject them?
