Back in the fall of 2014 I had written to let you know about Yahoo’s decision to shut down the classic Yahoo directory. Well December 31st was the last day for the Yahoo Directory as we know it – and today the old URL now redirects to the Yahoo Small Business Directory. Some of the relevant category links from the old Business section have been redirected to appropriate sections within the Small Business Directory – however plenty of category links now sadly 404.

Those of you who used to have your business listed in the Yahoo Directory can now resubmit to the Yahoo Small Business Directory if you’re not already listed. The big difference in the Small Business directory is that it’s actually free to submit your business listing as opposed to the fees charged by the original Yahoo Directory. To list your business simply head on over here and select the Basic listing option towards the middle of the page.
