It's just part of the cost of starting up in business as far as I am concerned.

We old-timers remember a time when Yahoo directories were
the best way to find stuff on the internet. No longer, but
once you are indexed there you are there forever. I paid
for my indexing in 2000. So over the last 8 years it was
bound to pay off.

My complaint about the Yahoo directory is that our web page
contains a lot more than the narrow description that is
allowed on Yahoo.
