Is Yahoo! still useful?

[Robert Rasmussen]

I can speak from experience that Yahoo is very UNresponsive to modification
requests. We changed sites 10 months ago, and have as yet failed to get Yahoo
to show our new site. Consequently we have had to maintain an account at our
prior site in order to forward the (many) web hits that we get from Yahoo.

I had a hard time getting listed in the first place, until I cocontacted them
about possible advertising...
