Track yahoo dir Is a Yahoo! Directory submission worth it?: Marketing Monitor - Jun. 1, 2004

Is a Yahoo! Directory submission worth it?: Marketing Monitor - Jun. 1, 2004: "First of all you, if you use a log analysis program you will need to define a filter which shows you the traffic generated by Yahoo Directory. Conversely if you use some form of real time tracking function such as WebTrends Live, or another form of visitor tracking, you will need to tell it some way to filter data based on a referrer.
In either case, you need to define a filter where the referrer is the Yahoo! directory (http://search.yahoo.com/search/dir). This is where the directory results are served from. To remove the '/dir' from the above string will return only organic search results. This is the key: defining the referrer."
