    Is being listed in Yahoo of any importance? A few years ago a link in the Yahoo directory was worth it's weight in gold. Now it doesn't seem to drive any traffic or very little traffic to the sites that I have listed there. Also the number of visitors I get from the pages listed in Yahoo search doesn't seem to help much either. What's your thoughts on Yahoo and do you think it is important to optimize for Yahoo?

The time listed in the article is 3 seconds. 3 seconds in this day and age is slow so it shouldn't hurt too bad. It's just interesting that Google is going this way. Now we'll have one thing to worry about when we optimize our sites for Google. I can see it now. We'll have stop watches out timing our page loads so that Google doesn't penalize us.
