i have submitted an authority, nonprofit site in a very small niche -- site gets about 350-400 uniques a day, rank at #1 for keyword on all major SEs, all original, high quality content, has been up since 2000, no ads of any sort, it's even in DMOZ! -- and I can't get it into the yahoo directory for free. ive submitted so many times but it never gets included!

im beginning to think that they just ignore all free submissions and there is just a huge backlog of them.
