Is age or Yahoo directory entry more valuable to a domain?

[jake123]

Sorry if this is too lame a question, I am spending some considerable research time that would be reduced with a better focus.

I can for a similar cost buy

* 10 year old domain names in auction, or

* dropped (expired) names that are grandfathered into the Yahoo directory, that don't require $299/yr to maintain the listing.

* Bonus question, is a DMOZ listing more valuable than Yahoo these days?

I know directories in general are not a valuable as in the old days, and even DMOZ listing are questioned by Google since corrupt editors have become more common.

I think domain age is the important one, We can do all other things again, except this.

I suppose that will help somehow for yahoo SERPS, but not for google and any other SE.

I would personally take the domain registered in the Yahoo directory. A domain with a $299 listing has to be worth something.

And I believe that Dmoz is better than Yahoo interms of SEO and value. At the end of the day, Yahoo is a directory which you can pay to enter while Dmoz isnt (at least not publicly)

I agree with you. Because Dmoz will help your google ranking. And google gives the biggest SE traffic.
