I wouldn’t say that submitting to web directories is worthless, it’s another inbound link for your website, which would help you to get higher in the search engine results

It’s still beneficial to send your URL to search engines in the beginning to have search engine spiders come your way as soon as possible, even if it comes 1-3 days earlier.

The paid Yahoo! Directory can actually help quite a bit since there are big directories that uses Yahoo’s paid directory.

Also, forgot to mention this in the blog post but Business.com is an excellent place to add your URL.

I wouldn`t even bother with any of that. The major search engines will all pick up your website as long as there are some links to it from websites they already index. Go ahead and submit to DMOZ although it doesn`t have much value these days. I wouldn`t bother with Yahoo, but that`s just my opinion and it depends what your site is. Any of the other general directories are worthless, although specific directories for your industry are good.

Also Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft all have ways in which you can claim your own websites and manage and view how they are being indexed, and that is worth doing.
