How to Use Yahoo Member Directory

How do I add my web site to the Yahoo Directory?

In order to add your web site to the Yahoo Directory, you must first suggest it to Yahoo's team of editors, who visit and evaluate every site added to the Directory. To suggest your site for evaluation by an editor, please follow the process outlined below.
Step 1: Check to see if your site is already in the Yahoo Directory.

Step 2: Find the appropriate category in the Yahoo Directory.
We ask that you suggest your site from the most relevant Directory category page.

Non-English Sites:
Please refer to the list of Non-English Yahoo! Directories.)

Step 3: Suggest your site from the link on the Directory category page most relevant to your site.

The Yahoo Directory is made up of categories. To do a Yahoo search to find the best category for your site:

From the front page, search on a term relevant to your site.
From the web search results page, select the Directory tab under the search box. This will confine your search to sites listed in the Yahoo! Directory.
Under the search bar you will see a list of "RELATED DIRECTORY CATEGORIES" and relevant sites from the Directory will be listed under "TOP 20 DIRECTORY RESULTS". You can review the list of Directory categories related to your search term and you can see various categories listed under the description of each site listed in Directory Results.
When you click on a category, you will go to that page in the Directory. You will see a "Suggest a Site" link located to the right of the search box on the Directory page.
Note: If you try to click on "Suggest a Site" from a broad or top-level category, such as Education, Regional, or Entertainment, instead of browsing down to a more specific sub-category, you'll be told that your suggestion is too broad. So make sure you search for and find the most specific category that describes the subject matter of your site.
