What will happen to my Directory Submit listing?
You have two options if you currently have an open order for a site listed under the Regional/Countrie/United Kingdom category path of the Yahoo! Directory:- You may continue to maintain your listing through the US based Directory Submit program. Your site will remain listed in the Directory as it is now, and the applicable annual fee will apply on your anniversary date. No further action on your behalf would be required.
- You may request a refund of the most recent fee you paid as part of the Directory Submit program. Your Directory Submit order will be closed immediately, and your site will then be removed from the Yahoo! Directory. If you wish to proceed with this option, please email cc-directory-submit-billing-e2y@cc.yahoo-inc.com with the Order ID, your YahooID, and the URL of your listing. In order to take advantage of this refund, Yahoo! must receive a fully completed request no later than 5 pm PDT on November 18th, 2010. Otherwise, Yahoo! will conclude that you have selected the first option.
Yahoo customers and users in the UK and Ireland regions will still be able search the web for sites on http://uk.yahoo.com/. The Yahoo! Directory at http://dir.yahoo.com still exists and lists many sites from this area of the world (http://dir.yahoo.com/Regional/Countries/United_Kingdom/) and (http://dir.yahoo.com/Regional/Countries/Ireland/). If you choose to maintain your listing, your site will still be listed in the Yahoo! Directory.

Isn't Bing going to power Yahoo now?
This is unfortunate. However, it seems easy enough to switch to the U.S. directory.
I think mine is with U.S. already, but I am not sure. That is sad, how come ?
I just wonder what are the reasons. I'll surely switch to U.S. one.
Thanks to all
NICE POSTING
Thanks so much for sharing this interesting updates about yahoo. So glad to have come across reading this post; be back for more readings.
That was a sad update... but I just hope that the concerns could be cope up... Thanks for this update...
This is pretty big news for SEO. I am interested to know what the lasting effects will be for SEOers in the UK and around the world.
Guess its now a case of watch this space. Unfortunate news though I think.
Hmm I am still not sure if it is good or bad but I guess this will make rather big impact on SEO factors and rankings for the UK... So will not be surprised if some websites that are taking top positions on their main keywords will move down in rankings...
There were several possible things that might happened in no time just what this update said... It was indeed sad...
Thanks for sharing - quite why everything has to be so complicated I don't know! I'll be honest in saying that i've focussed on google more than any others, purely because its the one i use the most but i should be seeking to cover all bases.
thanks for the article
this is really a sad update. well how could this be happen i don't believe on my eyes.
I'm not sure if this will have much effect on SEO but we can only wait and see. I've just had a quick read of the terms and conditions for and it does confirm that your able to get a refund for the submission to the directory.
Hi ! thanks for sharing this information.
it is a shame to close this directory !
Yahoo! as always been know for this directory and it is his great assets Vs Google
everyone want to have a backlink into this directory
Thanks so much for sharing this interesting news. Si pleased to have read over this one.
Hello, it was really shocking news according to me. thank you for sharing this. keep posting.
That was unexpected update. But I want to thank you for keeping an update. hope they could cope it up.
Yeah, I heard this news a month ago and I felt really shocked about this. Wondering why is this need to happen? After knowing the reason I accepted it and I am happy that Yahoo UK directory is still existing. :)
This is unfortunate. However, it seems easy enough to switch to the U.S. directory.
I'am wondering what will be the effects of this update to the yahoo subscribers. Upon giving this updates alternatives and solutions were listed too but I am looking forward for best solutions regarding this.
Well, although the sites admins and those business managers will still be able to use the US section of Yahoo directory, but the main issue is that unlike Google that is constantly expanding their net services, Yahoo may be thinking about renovations.
ohhh !! It is a shocking news. I hope yahoo change his decision very soon.
Nice discussion, if they make some change in there algorithm they also tell about it not an issue.
This is a sad news for me but updating yahoo subscribers is not that bad. Least, they are giving heads-up on whats gonna happen. We just have to consider our options.
This is unfortunate but on the other hand, it's good that there's an alternative and we can still maintain our listing through the US based directory.
