Is Yahoo Directory worth the money?
How much is the link for the year again, from what I can remember about $299. I think the $299 is better spent else where, if it costs you $20 for a article to be written I would produce 15 articles and either put them on your website or use them for guest blogging, I think this will give you a better return SEO wise then a Yahoo listing. Like Rob said though, if your a large company with a big marketing budget, there is probably 4-5 directories they would signup with and just repeat the subscription year on year.

On-page Optimization Grade Change
Hi blocker0408, There is an issue that has been identified with the Linkscape update which occurred earlier today. This means that Page Authority & Domain Authority in Open Site Explorer are off at the moment. The engineering team at SEOmoz are working on the problem and will update as soon as the issue is rectified. You can follow @SEOmoz on Twitter to keep up to date on what is happening with the issue and that way you will know when things are back on track. Hope that helps, Sha

How do I avoid cannibalization and point search engines to the correct page?
Try a stronger internal linking strategy. Make sure that category page is receives a link from your home page or from pages higher up than the item detail level. According to OSE, your site links to the individual product 10 times, while only linking to the category page 8 times. This may be sending google a message that the item is more important than the category. Of course, a surefire way to make sure it ranks better is to build a few external links to that category page. See if 'Keep Calm and Carry' links to distributors of their products. Do some google searches for 'where to buy keep calm and carry' and other similar queries to find possible link targets. Find other distributors who sell those products and use OSE to see if there are any sites that point external links to them. Perhaps those sites would be willing to link to you as well. In short. #1 Make sure the category is well linked internally with links near the home page. #2 Build Links to the higher pages.
