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

GWT Lists URLs with links to my site, but those URLs don't have links to my site
There are a number of URLs that show up for my website in Webmaster Tools as having links to my site when in fact they don't. I know this to be a fact because I actually wrote some of the sites that Google is saying are linking to my site and I know there isn't any links on the specific pages to that site. For example, the site in question is: https://www.liftproducts.com/ As an example, Google is saying that about 100 URLs from https://www.lift-tables.net/ are linking to it when, I'm fairly confident that there is only 1 link to it found here: https://www.lift-tables.net/info.php?countrytabs=3 Yet Google says links exist on this (and many more) page: https://www.lift-tables.net/liftproducts/max-lift/lpt4w-030-48.php I thought at first it might have been due to linking to a image file directly instead of locally hosting it, but after checking the source, that's not the case. I am also seeing this type of non-linking being reported on sites I have no clue what they are. For example, some Spanish site about tandem bicycles is being listed as linking to liftproducts.com: http://206-225-85-34.dedicated.abac.net/tandem/inc Yet I can find no evidence of an actual link existing. Am I missing something here? Any insight of why this is happening and how I can clean up my link signature would be appreciated.

Link from a directory
Hi, im submitting a clients website to some directories. They are a dental practice and I'm adding them to this website http://goo.gl/Tvyabd Once i added the business to its directory it asked me to add a link (in so many words) back to its website from my clients website. Is this ok to do or is it seen as spam? Im confused about this as sometimes directories are free and sometimes they ask for a fee for it to be fast tracked to put it on the website. I always check the Domain authority of the websites and make sure they are relevant to the industry that I'm working in but again not sure if this would be seen as "paying" for links. Thanks Ade

Changing url from non www to www.
basically I have realised i have more page authority and links going to www.onestopmuscle.co.uk instead of onestopmuscle.co.uk. I use wordpress and have no clue how to make sure onestopmuscle.co.uk redirects to www. version. anyone have any ideas? I don't want to mess about with files or i'll most likely make the blog into a disaster.

Directory Listing Quality
Have any of you ever purchased a directory listing with Absolute Directory (http:www.absolutedirectory.com)? I was thinking about suggesting it to some of my clients since it was inexpensive, had a good domain authority (58), moz trust (5.81), and didn't seem to be filled with any ads or obtrusive content. Any thoughts? Is this to good to be true? Regards - Kyle

What are the best paid directories today?
Looking to do some paid directory submissions and was wondering if a) they were still worth the money and b) if you have $500-$1,000 what paid directories would you submit too? I am assuming that BOTW is still on the list, but I rarely every see a BOTW link in any backlink report. Are they still relevant or are they more a sign of quality to the engines rather than an actual link? Same with JoeAnt
