I guess they are now so focused on generating new
sources of revenue from their premium services etc.
that keeping links updated is just not on their
top Todo list. Perhaps they feel that the solution
to this problem has already been found - by charging
new sites reviewed a yearly $299 fee!

The reasoning: If you're paying that kind of money
to them annually, SURELY your site is online and
updated .. ha ha But all that aside .. Yahoo is
still one of my fav sites .. I use their MyYahoo
feature daily .. very useful.


To Your Marketing Success!
