    I was curious if anybody here has gotten into the yahoo directory via the free submission.

    I have, the site had no ad and lots of content. I also got a very nice email from the editor telling me the site was listed

    Yup - I've gotten 3 blogs listed there now - they were all good ones, mostly personal blogs and they were listed within the first 6 months after submission - better than DMOZ imo.

    Are they static or redirect links?

    An amusing page on getting listed for free at Yahoo is Yahoo Free.

    Yep, my fan club site in sig has been in since maybe 1998. I never submitted either.

    And yeah Y! switched to scripted links about 4 months ago. That's why there are so many "is it worth $299.00?" threads.

    Wow. I am amazed.

    It wasn't worth $299 before... now it's worth very very close to nothing.

    I wonder why on earth they did that?

    I believe some locational yahoo directories are still offering static links
