When I started my business four years ago, I paid Yahoo $299 to list my site in their directory. And since then, another $300 per year.
They're now asking me to renew. My reaction this time is:
Why? And how come they don't bother to provide any data to me on why this $299 is a worthwhile expenditure. It's a lot of money. It feels pretty arrogant to me that they don't rationalize it all.
How many views? How many click-thrus? What sort of visibility?
What do you think? Useful? Arrogant?
