Im told Thompson are better than Yell now, well there online is. Dont pay for Yell its **** now.... They use these free listings you get your details, then phone you up and slaver a load of **** to get you to sign up, both of them told me because there partners with Google they could make my site top for my key words.

After asking them how they know how goggles algorithm works, they dropped that part of there pitch and started blabbering on about something else. How there phone number would get me more business....useless sales people lol. Yell even offered to come out to my house to ''show me a package'' the offer.

It's weird as I've heard some prone get good results, others get nothing! I've personally never seen anything from my listing, which I'll add, I spent 4 hours working on! Not many people actually uses these directories to search for things anymore. There are some industry-specific ones that work though!

That's cos they don't know how the algorithm works. They're still buying domain names with postcodes in them! Their idea of SEO is about 2 years out of date.
