With Yahoo! Pay-For-Review this model may be relatively easier to enter the site in the directory but you get traffic from the list of the entire story is different. And with the new annual recurring payment policy you must be extra careful when submitting your site for review.
Here are 8 things to remember when submitting your site to Yahoo!
1) Selecting your domain name is the most important step in getting top ranking in Yahoo! and also other directories such as Dmoz and Looksmart.
Make sure your domain name is "Keyword Rich". You can make your domain keyword rich enough to enter hyphens to separate words in your domain name. Yahoo! provide more relevant to their site with keywords in the domain name.
We take the domain name for example: http://www.home-based-business-opportunities.com/. This consists of 4 different in high-demand keywords: "Home Based Business", "Home Business", "Home Business Opportunities", "Home Based Business Opportunities."
While the name of your domain, you should even try to keep your domain name, such as consisting of one, 2-4 word main or "parent" keyword, which in turn consist of 2-4 in high demand "child" keyword. You may or may not get the highest ranking for all keywords, but you can be sure to get a main or parent" keyword (If you do all the rights of others). Even if you must get a separate domain name for this, GET IT! This is really important for your ranking.
2) Sites that are placed higher in the directory structure given more relevance of the site that placed a lower or depth.
For example a site that is listed in the category - B2B/Business Opportunities will give more relevance of a site that is listed in the category - B2B/Business Opportunities/Directories. Here's a great tip to select the category that most trafficked website for you.
Once you've short-listed 2 or 3 categories to place your site in, check the cost of the Sponsor Listing categories. It’s really simple. Visit the following URL: https: / / ecom.yahoo.com / fast / sponsor. Enter the URL of any web site listed in the category you want (must be the same as the URL that appears in a category must be commercial, and category).
Please note that Yahoo! Sponsors receive a listing only to certain commercial categories and so this tip may or may not work for the category. You will be prompted for your Yahoo! ID. After you submit your information, you will be given to the cost for a Sponsor. Repeat the process for the remaining short-listed categories.
Now compare the price of all short-listed categories. Natural that one with a higher price is one of the most trafficked!
3) Yahoo! considers keywords in the directory while the rank structure.
For example, if someone searches for "Directory of Business Opportunities", a web site listed in category -- B2B/Business Opportunities/Directories will give more relevance of the web site listed in the category - B2B/Business Opportunities
4) Yahoo! NOT a spider web to determine the ranking. It ranked sites based on keywords in the domain name, title and description. So having a META tag does not make any difference to your listing.
5) DO NOT try to stuff as many keywords into the description. Yahoo! editors cut down the information if they feel even the least hype. Try to avoid words like - no.1, proven, turnkey and fun etc.
Also, make sure that the titles of the same page with the information you give to your site. There is no confusion in the mind of editors’ review your site.
6) Make sure your domain name and business name is the same since Yahoo! known by using the business name as a title for your listing.
7) Make sure your website is "Content Rich". This is especially important for two reasons. One - to get your site received by Yahoo! and two - to maintain the list and get higher.
Yahoo! determines the popularity of a website by the amount of time visitors spend on your website. If you do not have that big, they hit the "back button" from their browser as soon as they hit your website, you can kiss up to your dreams may be higher than the list. Once you get a lower list, it can be very difficult to make as a visitor will not be able to find your site easily.
After getting a site accepted into the directory, Yahoo! ranking is based on the popularity of keywords in the domain name, title and description. But as time progresses, it is ranked based on the popularity of the website itself. We ignored this and we are listing down drastically in a few days after getting accepted!
8) Prior to the website, a website that actually research rank higher for keywords that you target (Especially the "Most Popular" sites in the directory). This will give you a rough idea about what should and what is not included in your website.
