Will yellowpages.com work for my business?

I have an online gift boutique that sells gift baskets and delightful finds.Hello I recently entered into a deal with yellowpages.com. They promise to get a minimum of 90 clicks to my site with a banner, add and more. I will be somewhere on the first page.The focus will be local and some national exposure. I will be on some sites that feature yellowpages as well. Have you tried this for your business and if so did it work. Any tips?


This package will cost $290 a month. What do you think?

There is no guarantees, you have to risk it, and see if it will work or not.
Reply:yellowpages.com will yield a ton, yes a TON of sales calls to your business. If you have something to sell on the internet, yellowpages.com is the GREATEST sales lead list on the internet! Report It

Reply:No, it is really just hype. It may lead people to your site but there are no guarantees they will purchase anything. Who is to say that their own people are not the ones clicking on your site.
Reply:Run away, there is a thief trying to take your money.
Reply:If you were to spend $290 a month on direct mail and radio, you would see ten times the response.





Direct mail is a very potent response mechanism when done well. ...meaning a very professional looking design, great headline, insane offer, and targeted to a person likely to buy your product.





If you send out a home-made looking mailpiece to a mass of people you will get less than 2% response.





Typically, "yellowpages" anything is a waste of advertising money.





Hopefully you can fix your contract
