More Yahoo!
Details on the paid-inclusion service, including pricing and the free URL submission form, are located at:
Yahoo! Submit Your Site: "The goal of Yahoo! Search is to discover and index all of the content available on the web to provide the best possible search experience to users. The Yahoo! Search index, which contains several billion web pages, is more than 99% populated through the free crawl process. Yahoo! also offers several ways for content providers to submit web pages and content directly to the Yahoo! Search index and the Yahoo! Directory"

Unfortunately, in addition to charging an annual review fee per
URL, Yahoo! is imposing additional per-clickthrough fees on all
traffic received. In its current state, the program only makes
sense for large ecommerce or subscription sites in competitive
industries.

The only upside of the program having a pay-per-click component
is that Yahoo! will be incentivized to provide tips and ideas to
customers as to how they can improve the quality of their pages,
and in turn, show up higher in the search results
