Similar to a search engine, but with a database generated by hand, this is the world's most used directory of web sites. The main URL is http://www.yahoo.com. It is notoriously difficult to get listed in Yahoo and, once listed, even more difficult to get your listing changed or to get out! To increase the odds of getting listed, try the following:

• Select the three categories you want to be listed in very carefully. Consider the regional categories. Ensure that the categories match the content of your site.
• Apply to one of their local subsidiaries for your own country or city.
• Make sure that your site is well-designed and easy to navigate.
• Ensure your site has no dead links.
• Ensure that your pages download quickly.
• Provide good contact information on your site.

If you manage to get listed, keep the e-mail they send you. You can e-mail the same person subsequently to get your listing changed.
