as stated alot of times yell.com is very good but ppl have there own opinions about it.When the commercial are looking for w/cs there more then likely to look in yell.com.Yellow pages isnt the best.

they say to me they cant discount; but i look at it like the loto you have to be in it
to have a chance some years it pays others not word of mouth seems the best.

Save your money mate. Get a free listing and you will be able to be found if people look for you on yell.com They are the hardest advertising sellers out there and it's easy to be tricked in to thinking your business won't grow without them.

I got the same advert last year £125 plus vat, has it gone upto £260. Yell have started leaving messages on my answerphone. Not going with them if the price has gone upto £260.

Also been told the one line advert, previously free. They are now charging for but dont know how much as yet.

Good bye YELL
