When you submit to Yahoo.com it displays the directory results in the other areas of Yahoo, which does give static links. Like in Yahoo Asia here:

keep in mind that a Yahoo! Directory listing may enhance your Yahoo! rankings a good bit too.

IMO, it is very much over-priced.

I doubt it. I have never seen any proof of this.

Does a tracking link like this have any value, then? Should I even bother submitting sites to directories that link in this way?
