1) Selecting your domain name is the most vital step in
getting a top ranking in Yahoo! and also other directories
like Dmoz and Looksmart.

Now that you have written and compiled your .....

your domain keyword rich by simply inserting hyphens to
separate words in your domain name. Yahoo! gives more
relevance to sites with keywords in their domain name.

Take our domain name for example:
http://www.home-based-business-opportunities.com/

It is made up of 4 different high-in-demand keywords: "Home
Based Business", "Home Business", "Home Business
Opportunities", "Home Based Business Opportunities".

While crafting your domain name, even you should try to keep
your domain name such that it is made up of one, 2-4 words

main or "parent" keyword; which in turn is made up of 2-4
high-in-demand "child" keywords.

You may or may not get a top ranking for all your targeted
keywords but you can be sure of getting one for your main or
"parent" keyword (If you do everything else right).

Even if you have to get a separate domain name for this
purpose, GET IT! It is absolutely crucial for your ranking.

2) Sites which are placed higher in directory structure are
given more relevance than sites which are placed lower or
deeper.

For example a site listed in category -
B2B/Business_Opportunities will be given more relevance than
a site listed in category -
B2B/Business_Opportunities/Directories

Once you have short-listed 2 or 3 category to place your
site in to, check out the cost of Sponsor Listings of those
categories.

It's really simple. Visit the following URL:
https://ecom.yahoo.com/fast/sponsor

Enter the URL of any website that is listed in your desired
category (The URL should be same as it appears in Yahoo! and
the category should be a commercial category).

-----SIDEBAR-----
Please note that Yahoo! accepts Sponsor Listings for only
certain commercial categories and so this tip may or may not
work for your category.
-----SIDEBAR-----

You'll be asked for your Yahoo! ID. Once you submit the
information, you'll be provided with the Sponsorship charges
for that certain category. Repeat the process for your
remaining short-listed categories.

Now compare the prices of all your short-listed categories.
Naturally the one with a higher price is the most trafficked
one!

3) Yahoo! considers keywords in the directory structure
while ranking.

For example, if someone is searching for "Business
Opportunities Directories", a web site listed in category -
B2B/Business_Opportunities/Directories will be given more
relevance than a web site listed in category -
B2B/Business_Opportunities
