I havent made my mind up yet, but have been offered a listing on yell.com for £300 per annum , enhanced listing, six bullet points and from April 1 a free link to web site.
I have never ben with yell before. is this a good deal? does yell work for anyone?

They keep trying to ring me at the moment, I'll give them the two finger treatment to be honest.... Do you ever use Yell.com yourself, or do you Google things?

[gwrightson]

They are now offering a call monitoring system that I can veiw at any time, any call made from a dedicated yell number is transfered directly to my own number along with the number of veiws, they say if calls are not made a reveiw of my listing will be made   re. reducing payment. hmmm not sure.

offer them a £1 a call instead, bet they say no.
yell is very good when there running there add campaigns on tv, but as soon as they stop, so do the calls.
yell is a tough one. i'm in 2 minds whether to go in again or not.

I did it last year , got 3 jobs , them 3 didn pay for the add fees but the repeat work and the 2 recos did .

yes the old yell . is a toughy on the ye or na !

I have found that Yell.com doesnt work that well for domestic work, however i have had some great office jobs from it so i would say that for £300 its worth every penny mate, give it a try.

Might just give it a miss myself :

Have a chat with Pete Sweeney, he knows all about Yell - he got a load of us a deal last year.

He can give you the best advice and if you do it through him it won't cost you anything like £300.

Last place I would use again is Yell, total waste of money

[Simon@arenaclean]

I got the same deal but at £185, went for it but no calls yet ::)I would not have done at £300 but I was sure I should get £185 back. Then again but it is early days.

I think the deal Geoff (Wrightson) has been offered is a very good one.
Much better then the one I was offered.
He kept ringing me but would not budge on his offer, neither I on my decision not to go with it.
Maybe we both are losers.
Perhaps the pricing depends on the area that will be covered, but I would imagine Hull is pretty similar to Warrington?

[clinton]

Same here joe sounds like a good deal.

Might put the money in to another web site rather than give the money to yell

[Gordonnis]

Being with yell. com  for about 5 months now and what a waste of money wish i could get out of the contract . After 3 months got in contact with them as i had not had 1 single call of the site , they said 240 had searched for carpet cleaners in my area and i must have had some calls was the reply. so now they changed my number so they can log the  number of calls i recieve and guess what in the last 2 months  still nothing   £287 this cost  me ,what a waste  they had a great salesman on the phone and i fell for it    never again will i use yell

[dave123]

I've persevered with yell for 3 years now and still have not seen much improvement in the calls i get .No more,this is the last time ,sticking to direct mail,reminders and leaflets from now on .

[Mark Lane-Matthews]

I think you would be better off  investing that £300 into your own website such as a adword campaign or updating the SEO.This would give you a much better return.

Just had the call from my rep,booked a meeting with her on monday,have told her it`s not looking good (for them,in terms of me spending anything) didn`t sound happy at that,so guess the decay must be spreading.
Had had trouble with my adds last year,so they halved my payment,still not got anything from it.
Supposed to be in 2 books  this year,1 in print and another one due to come out,but judging by the lack of contact from 1st 1 i am thinking of pulling the plug,as it`s a saturated area already,about 7 pages of c,cers

[clinton]

Dont think many use the y pages any more and the more y pages i see now still wrapped up is increasing,found about ten of them just the other day in some flats from last yr at the door

Am going to put the money towards another web site as this will bring me more work in

Y pages was a great tool up to about 4 or 5 years ago.
