In case you have ever tried to call Yahoo, as you know, it is a HUGE pain in the ass. First of all, you cannot find a number. And, when you do, you are on hold forever.
So, for those of you who actually need to call Yahoo about a directory listing, you are out of luck if you need to speak to someone - because, (shocker) they don’t speak to customers. Perhaps, that explains Yahoo’s tremendous success in recent years (or lack thereof). But, here is a good phone number for Yahoo merchant solutions:

If you need an e-mail address to e-mail about your Yahoo directory submission, it is:
bizex-admin@yahoo-inc.com
Bet you never would have guessed at that one, huh?

You need to start out with one phase of paid directory placement and later come back and do more directories. But, here is where I would start:

I was registering one of my sites this weekend on Best of the Web (BOTW.org) . I don’t know about you. But, when I ever I see a box for "Promo Code" or "Promotional Code", I know that since someone/somewhere has that promotional code, I am going to find it. And, I did! Use this code at BOTW to get 40% off a directory registration:
LPROCKS
Enjoy.
