Yahoo! Directory Listings Last Longer Then a Year

It has been a long time since we mentioned anything about the Yahoo! Directory let alone any directory. I found this nice thread at HighRankings forum named Quit Yahoo Directory - Still Listed which shows that even if you do not renew your Yahoo! Directory listing, after the year is up, you can still continue to be listed.

One member reported;

I stopped paying long back..much over a year...maybe 2 years by now...still not been removed from the directory.....I also sent 2 requests to be removed.

Jill Whalen adds that it is "great when they remove them though, because then the lousy directory description doesn't show in the organic results any more!"
