Yahoo Best answers and SEO?

Is Yahoo dropping its directory b/c of Bing acquisition?

  • My Yahoo directory listing expires in a few days. If anyone hasn't heard, Microsoft/Bing is essentially taking over Yahoo search. I cannot find any information on what services Yahoo is dropping. I definitely do not want to pay another $299, only to have the directory listings become obsolete in a month once Bing/Yahoo complete their integration. Here is a quote I found in an SEO news publication: "...Yahoo might put its Internet directory into question as well as their alternative search applications SearchMonkey and SearchBOSS. Applications such as Yahoo Maps might also be reconsidered because Bing offers similar services...." Any comments or answers from a Yahoo rep would be great!

  • Answer:

    There's no official word on it, but I'll be renewing my Yahoo directory listing. It's a big revenue generator for Yahoo, and the affiliation with Bing offers no compelling reason for them to say no to that money.
