Yahoo! Site Submission Survey

NOTE: THIS FORM WILL NO LONGER SUBMITYahoo Site Submission Survey
Every day Yahoo editors scour the Web looking for the best sites possible to add to our directory. As you well know, one good source for quality sites has always been user suggestions. Indeed, a significant number of the sites that make it into Yahoo are submitted by users. We’ve always appreciated this fact.Yahoo editors visit and evaluate as many sites as possible. Ours is a job that requires careful, meticulous consideration of each and every site–we want a directory that maintains the quality of listings you’ve come to expect. But, you probably also know that we are inundated with tens of thousands of site submissions a week. The care and time it takes to build the Yahoo directory does not allow us to get to every single one of them.

We know that our inability to look at everything can be a source of frustration for some of you who have submitted sites. Occasionally, some of you have mentioned you’d be willing to pay a fee to guarantee that a Yahoo editor will look at your site, for evaluation and possible inclusion in the directory.

So, that is our question here today. Would you ever consider paying a one-time fee to guarantee that an editor looks at your site, to consider it for inclusion in the Yahoo directory?
