So I know the impact of this link is quite considerable to sites so I believe the 299 is worth it. I am now in the process of building links so if anyone has any UK directories with good PR please let me know.

I don’t think its worth it. I will advice that in this amount someone should use Google AdWords to publicise his/her website and build a genuine audience. If the Yahoo! charges was for life term then the situation was different but every year, no chance. Yahoo! 299$ fees for the directory listing is really very expensive. I don’t think its worth it.

They've started removing sites that don't renew. e.g. I submitted a site in Dec 06. I got a renewal request from Yahoo! in Dec 07, final warning in January, notice that it had been removed in early February, and it was actually removed in mid February. (It may be different for sites that have been in the directory for longer, or didn't pay to get in.) Of course, that's not to say there aren't ways around this... Nope, the good times are over.

Nope, the $299 is not being spent on reviews, despite what Google says makes us good little link builders. The yahoo.com.au directory is in the same situation - local submissions are unpaid, and so are never reviewed. (I'd like at least some of my sites go through, guys!) I guess only the US market is important to them? :( I have registered expired sites and not paid the annual fee, and they are still appearing in the yahoo dir.
