How do I change Yahoo directory listing?
-
Years ago an old employee put us on Yahoo. The information is no longer correct and I have no idea who put us on or when. Does anyone have a suggestion? Or an email to contact yahoo?
-
I can't say for sure who you could talk to unfortunately. I've heard from a handful of sources that the Yahoo Directory is operating on a skeleton crew, to say the least, and they're not very prompt with rebilling and similar maintenance.

I have successfully got in, I found the guy who originally set it up ten years ago. I am in the account but I can't renew the order. My only option is to do a sponsor listing for 50 a month. I just want to reactivate it for the $299 a month. I can't find anywhere to do it. Any ideas or know anyone I can talk to?

Hi Niners - the page that Mike linked to contains the following recommendation:
"On the change form, we ask for the email address you originally used to submit your request. If you can't remember it, use the form anyway, including any possible addresses in the "Message" area. This helps us locate your record."
So, go ahead and submit the changes and let them know you forgot the email but you can be reached at xxxxx@mydomain.com and that should be sufficient enough for them to trust your change submission.
-
I tried going through that but the problem is I have to know the original email that was associated with the listing and I don't know that.

According to Yahoo, "...If you need to make a change to your listing in the Directory (this includes changing the URL, title, and/or description of the existing site), you must use the change form, NOT Yahoo! Directory Submit."
I think this is the change form and here is some additional info from Yahoo on "How do I suggest changes to my Directory listing?"

| The following errors were found in your submission:
- The site already exists in the Yahoo! Directory
Please correct and resubmit your information below. |

This is the error I get with no options. I can't find anyway to contact them either. No customer help phone or email either. Not sure what else to do. I will look at Getlist.org and see if they have anything interesting.
Thanks

You should attempt to create a listing here: http://listings.local.yahoo.com/overview.php
You may be prompted that you already have a listing; however, I would think you should be able to claim it if you can provide the phone number, address (sometimes they will send you a postcard), or company email address.
And since you are on the "local directory" topic, I would suggest using GetList.org to see where your company is listed and list your company in any of the directories which it is not already listed in.
Hope this helps.
Mike

Rss Directories Worth the time? If so Which ones?
All I could find was a bunch of ancient posts on RSS directories. Just getting a new site set up and I want it distributing content as far as possible all white hat. Are Rss directories even worth my time these days. I was thinking of submitting to the top 10. We blog about 2-10 posts per week. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Should we pay for this attorney directory?
I'm aware of how most directories don't matter and/or have lost significance over the past few years, but in the legal world, it sure seems like this one does: http://www.martindale.com/ I doubt we will ever get many cases from this directory, but it would be a nice link to have...I think. The DA is 88 and the page we would be listed in is a 39. Almost all of our competitors who outrank us have this link as well. Granted, it's not the only link, but it's one I could afford to obtain. Any thoughts or experiences? ***If any of you market for attorneys, and you're outside the Tampa area (don't want to cause any professional conflicts) have you recommended this directory to your clients? Thanks, Ruben

Where can I get a list of broken links to my client's website?
I have a client who owns a website that attracted a large number of links to internal pages of their sites. Without realising the value of those links, they removed every page of their website other than the home pages that now reads, "new website coming soon". How can I get a list of every website still linking to the (now broken) internal pages of their site?

Question about a specific directory
Awhile back I listed our website here: http://directory.r-tt.com/ I spotted one of our competitors there and I went ahead and listed our site. Now it seems that we are listed on 37 pages on the site. The titles that you can use for links to your site are very SEO friendly. Should I remove my site from this directory? We've experienced a recent drop in traffic from Google and I'm trying to pin point the source.

Article submission to multiple directories
We know the general consensus among the crowd here is to avoid free article submission directories. But we have to do this as part of our overall deliverables and have hit a roadblock. A couple of our agencies are insisting that we submit one article to multiple sites - which we contend would trigger duplicate content issue and render all links useless. Any feedback on submitting one article to multiple article sites?

Are Directory Links a Good Source of Branded Links?
I am trying to increase the number of branded links for a few of my sites since the links are too heavily weighted on anchor text. If so, would you recommend a service like Directory Maximizer?

Is there a way to tell if a directory is passing Page Rank or is devalued?
Hi Mozzers! I was wondering if there is a way to determine if a specific directory is passing Page Rank or if the links have been devalued by Google. Thanks!
