Isnt it becoming a bit over-saturated with these business listing websites?
There's loads of them now and if people want a plumber or builder they
either know someone or look in the yellow pages. So wheres the value in
loads of smaller business listings on the internet?

I'm not critising your own listings just making general comment and wondered
what you thought.

You will be amazed how sceptical people are with this I have had
www.businessa2z.co.uk running for 2.5 years and there is no response. I
even setup a cold call with free listing and people still refused!

500 flyers went out to local businesses in one county and 3 people
responded. How the fuck did yell.co.uk make 24m profit last year!
