      So we already have our brand listed in Yahoo Directory for a few years but today I noticed it is not listed in OSE and the pages we're listed on in Yahoo Dir are PA:0 / DA: 100 with 0 links from 0 Root Domains! (or with a PA:1)

      Does this mean no juice is being passed at all for this listing? Does it mean it is not even spidered by Google then as how can it be found if no inlinks? Does any authority still get passed from Yahoos domain with DA100 despite pages being PA0?

      I ask because I'm considering adding another company to Yahoo Dir to get some authority rather than traffic.

        the most likely explanation is the moz's bot had not crawled that page ( is too deep), to give it a value.  Note: google bots crawls a lot more than moz's bot and so it will give that page value, its easy to test, google the url and see it its indexed.

        Does it pass any authority is a different question.  I have heard mixed opinions about the yahoo directory, some saying its worth the money, other saying its not.

        Personally and currently I would not bother paying for it, but I would not tell someone they shouldn't get it.  At my last job I did not renew the link one year and it did not seem to have any  effect on the site's serp (but I cannot prove it did not)

        If you search the forums you will find alot of topics about it.
