Internet Marketing Roundup – Goodbye Yahoo Directory

Posted on December 31, 2014October 2, 2019 by Dana Hutchins

The Yahoo Directory has closed. I remember working hard to get Inforest Communications into the local subset of the directory, before the advent of Google. Hard to believe that for a time they were selling listings at $299 a year!

Otherwise there are a lot of “10 best articles of 2014” out there from various search marketing sites that are worth a glance. Here are some articles from the previous year that caught my attention:

Google dropped authorship info from search results.
Tips for writing good meta description tags.
37 tools for SEO campaigns. Looking into some of these ourselves.
The death of all things SEO.
Advice for small business, focus on ROI.
