Yahoo Link
-
does it still help to pay for inclusion in Yahoo's link directory ?
-
I would say it depends on your specific category. If your category is broken into dozens of subcategories and then has multiple pages, probably not. If your category page is only page one, or has some pagerank or a good MozRank, then yes. There are some subpages in Yahoo that aren't even indexed in Google, which is absurd for 300/year.

I have had good experience with the yahoo directory and it's link quality. Same goes for business.com and Best of the Web. The submission requirements fall right along the lines of the google webmaster agreement and google's guidlines for what qualifies as a good site. If included your site will be seen as more authoritative. Make sure that the site meets the requirements of the Yahoo directory because they will not refund your $299 review fee if you do not get in.

Depends on who you ask. I've never done it. I have had colleagues that did, but didn't report any benefit from it.

Disvowing Links?
I ran a report through SEM rush and it came back with 174 toxic links ( score 100-60). I have been reading mixed reviews about what to do. Most of the websites are not relevant and appear to be linking to the images. Should I disavow these links? Would it help SEO? Or should I leave it be?

Spammy Links in MOZ but when I go to the external link I can't find a link to us
I was going to try to contact webmasters to see if they would remove some of our spammy links. I see alot of them in MOZ but when you go to the site our anchor text is not there. Is this good? How often does MOZ refresh external links. Please see: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/anchors?site=www.totalvac.com None of the links for the anchor text <a class="clickable title link-pivot" title="See top linking pages that use this anchor text." data-text="vacuum cleaner parts vacuum parts vacuum bags vacuum cleaner bags" data-id="46391436859">vacuum cleaner parts vacuum part...</a> in MOZ exist?
