I absolutely love your blog entries and your posts dealing with SEO! This post was especially helpful, as I really haven’t felt like coming out of pocket 300 bucks for a Yahoo Directory listing. Thanks so much and keep up the good work! :)

Admin: Thanks Mike… My only regret is that this post really never got much traction. That kinda blows me away, actually! It sure doesn’t hurt to try. I gladly rolled the dice with five minutes of my time… Ya never know!

PS I really liked your websites nice and simple design. Plus you’re using a blog… Blog more often and you might find that you get a following if the info is truly insightful and fresh!

Upon examination, Yahoo Canada Directory also offers the opportunity to click on “regions” within categories/subcategories, and a US-based site may choose this route.

Admin: I checked out your site and I registered for the forum. However, you can’t just use your business name when leaving a comment. I will use the comment but you will not get a link

I suppose that I just learned a valuable lesson. It’s so important to read the fine print and follow directions in a precise manner. I’ll try to implement this kernel of wisdom when I submit my site to the Yahoo Canada Directory. :)

Thanks so much for providing this beneficial information! It appears that it is very important to choose the right category for a link to be approved. It may be instructive to see where similar sites place their links.

Thanks again for your continued SEO guidance and direction!

Admin: Andy, great comment but you need to learn how to use Keyword Luv if you want a link from this blog.

There are a lot of Canadians who come to San Diego to buy homes. I help Canadian investors buy properties all the time. I think Yahoo should be willing to serve people and companies who serve the Canadian market, even if the people or companies are not located in Canada.

Canada huh? I guess I never thought of that but it would be a good link though. Before finishing this comment I followed the link and submitted my site. Thank for the information. Now it’s just a waiting game to see what happens.

How interesting that they are giving free listings for Yahoo Canada! My only issue for my own personal business is what I have to factor in with the cost of shipping, so I don’t know if that will work for me.

Admin: Mark, It likely will not produce much if any business as people don’t much use directories any more. It will be a sweet link if it gets approved. I have my doubts since we are not based in Canada, but my site does indicate that we offer services for Canadians.

Wow- this is the great thing about always reading an SEO’s blog. We find the most valuable things don’t we? ( I feel like a kid in a candy shop – LOL )
I also am going to try to get listed and even if I don’t get listed, I have a friend who is Canadian and has a site and she can try to get listed.
Thanks so much for this fantastic tip!
Most SEOs wouldn’t even tell anyone.
All the best,
Eren

Admin: Hi Erin, I always appreciate your great comments. There are a few things that we do that I keep to myself but not many. I really enjoy finding this stuff and sharing it. I stumbled on this on some obscure blog. I only regret that I didn’t remember where I found it to give that author credit. It sure doesn’t hurt to try.

I just checked and you do not need to be a Canadian company! Now, how cool is that!

Thanks for this info. I guess you can call it the Yahoo directory back door secret. I just submitted my site a few minutes ago and i’m waiting to see what’s going to happen. It took me a few months and a few submissions to get listed in Dmoz. Just hope this time it will be much faster..
