Many people ask about how to get listed with Yahoo! While it's not impossible, it can be difficult nowadays.... So I wanted to share with you this alternative....

It's the Open Directory Project, at www.dmoz.org . At first glance, it sounds like it's not much use -- after all, who's heard of the domain www.dmoz.org ???????

BUT, consider this.... You've heard of Google, Hotbot, Netscape Search? All these sites use data from the Open Directory Project (ODP) for their web directories.... By getting listed with the ODP, you simultaneously get yourself into the directory on these web sites, plus on over 100 other sites too....

So, to my mind, it's a good "alternative" to a Yahoo! listing -- when you add up all these sites (especially including the Google web directory), it may even be more powerful than a Yahoo! listing. And I think it's much easier to get in, too!
