Yell.com - what's everyone paying?

[Jon Lad]

It's time to renew my Yellow Pages ad and in addition, they offered me a Mediumweight (whatever that is?) ad in the tree work classification on Yell.com for £340 + VAT for 12 months.

 

Are other people paying about the same for a similar ad?

[Frank]

I personally wouldn't do it.

[Mozza]

I wouldnt touch yell with Franks

Have you signed up to Yell.com before????

 

I did years ago, and I tracked enquiries from it. It turned out that I had about 5 calls all year from it!!!

From what I understand they've invested money into it and it's better, my rep told me that 50% of searrches are now done on Yell. I think personally that's bull!!!!!!

 

For the last 2 years I've stood well clear of yell.com and 118247, but then again my happiest day will be when I don't need to give Yell a single dime of my hard earned!!!

I don't like the way they do business at all!

 

Having said that, my rep this year did offer me what seems like a good deal, I got offered Heavyweight in 2 areas for £211 extra. (they do do a good job of bamboosling me tho!! So I could have it wrong). Also this is maybe because I have adverts in the books aswell, maybe the rates are better then.........I dunno

 

Hope that helps and sorry for the minor rant.

I think it maybe an idea to have a presence in yellow pages, but I wouldn't spend anything on Yell.com, have you seen how many adverts there are in there... Ask yourself... do you use Yell.com? or maybe google? ARBCLIMBER is offering an alternative service for your marketing needs.

[ad15]

how often do YOU use yell for other things?

 

I NEVER use it,, the couple of times i have it's come back with a box of frogs when i was looking for pizza...

 

google is all you need... save your dosh

[Johny Walker]

im lucky, i dont need it or want it ,took the free ad becouse it was free

[Alinicoll]

I used Yell for two years and got very little back.

[Danny Boy]

I used it last year & got very little business from them.

 

I wasn't in the top 3 featured ones & it cost me around £260 a year in the Glasgow area.
