It has been a while since I last submitted one of my own websites to Yahoo! Directory but recently I have decided to splash out the $299 on New Football Kits to help push it’s rank for some of the more competitive search phrases such as “Football Kits”, “Football Boots” and “Football Shirts”.

The last site I submitted to Yahoo! Directory was Glass Block Outlet back in 2005 and I instantly noticed the benefits in Yahoo! search engine rankings for targeted search terms and I also think it was one of the deciding factors that pushed the website to the number 1 position in Google.co.uk for the search term “Glass Blocks” (which also helped the site get a listing on the BBC website).

Now people may argue that things have changed since then but recently I have worked on a number of websites which have very poor on page SEO and minimal incoming links but still manage to rank in Yahoo! search results for terms they have no right to. This is solely because they have a Yahoo! Directory listing.

So I have been monitoring the positions of New Football Kits for these popular search terms and the current results are:

The Yahoo! Directory listing should hopefully go live over the next few days so I will report back with the rankings in a month from now which should be enough time for the site to benefit from the listing.
