Ever paid 600$ to be listed in Yahoo?<br /><br />It is sure at 100% that your website will be listed?<br /><br />Gimme me info please. I need some of my websites listed there.<br /><br />thanx!<br /><br />mav

[High Roller]

don't do it, they might reject you<br />and you are out $600

[IntenseMark]

Yahoo sucks. I had 5 listings in 2001 and they were all removed in a weeks time. I had unique sites etc. I did 5 chargebacks and have got 1,200 back so far. Yahoo would not return any calls or emails. Now Yahoo charges 600 per year with no guarantee of a listing. The traffic can be good but beware.

I have 12 listings on yahoo, 6 of them paid via the $600 inclusion fee. You can make money from it, but it takes a long time...<br /><br />WG

I read an article the other day and it said the most popular SE was msn.com

[nasko]

You can get big traffic from google only these days...

[WiredGuy]

Yeah, if you add up Yahoo, MSN, AOL and everyone else (except Google), then you may come close to google. But generally, Google is number one by far followed closely by Yahoo/Msn in second.<br /><br />WG

I got 5 site listed on yahoo after paying 600$ for each. Friends if you ur site reject after revieing by yahoo staff. You must using consoles on ur site.<br /><br />Yahoo staff also give right to appeal and if u appeal u wil get success 90%.<br /><br />They also reply you if u r suing correct email address. I got reply many times from yahoo staff if i some delay occur in submition.<br /><br />I think 600$ one time change on yahoo wil rertun 2000 hitd daily. I am getting 5000 cobine hits in all 5 sites.

[flyingiguana]

if u can get 1000 hits a day from yahoo, then i'd say its worth it. over the run of a year thats 365,000 se hits. pretty good cost per click right there. but there's always the chance u get a shit description or don't even get listed. i've heard some horror stories about yahoo.

[WiredGuy]

Desi, it's now $600/year, not a one time fee anymore. Regardless, if you can make $50/month from the traffic you get you'll breakeven. For most sponsors, that's 2 su/month. Sounds too easy huh, well, if you've got a yahoo listing you'll learn that Yahooligans seem to not like taking out their credit cards. There's way too much free porn on Yahoo to really make much money from paysites.<br /><br />WG

If you have an avs site or paysite on yahoo, then you'll make the money back. Yahoo keeps on fucking delisting my sites cause I have "too many ads." You'll never make it back with a free site.

There's so many sites in their directory, a regular listing is good for about 50 a day...

I paid 600 a few months ago and it was worth it. I made way more than the 600 back in sponsor sales alone within the first month while I still had the "new" button beside my site. I did it by throwing up some ARS banners for the Yahoo suckers. They ate it up. This doesn't even include the paysite revenue.<br /><br />If you're already making decent money and you KNOW that you can convert, then I would pay the 600 a year listing. In the big scope of things, 600 is really chump change.

[Jorge]

This is very sensitive issue. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br />I have lost 2 listings 3-4 weeks ago, and it was one of the saddest days in my adult webmastering history - these were jewels.<br />$600 recurring is rip-off, and I doubt there will be many new sites. Most new sites I see, are these #!123-abc-sex-bla-porn-bla.com bullshit sites. I am going to wait until their reviewers stop listing this shit.

[basschick]

if you list avs sites, you should know that some avs's will refund your $600 after you get a few sales from the listing.

[Biggy31]

yeah, what avs is that
