| Yellow Pages | | Need a little help, i have put myself on Yell.com which cost me nothing and also got an email saying i will appear in the yellow pages directory from August.
Now i have had a bloke on the phone waffling on about advertising in the Yellow pages, was busy so just said send me some info. Basically now got a pack with things for me to sign at a cost of £126 a year! thought it was free. Is this bloke just trying to sell me a bigger spaced advert?
Will i still appear for free if i dont sign this paperwork?
Or is it worth signing it if i get a larger space?
thx

| Re: Yellow Pages | | I've had a similar call earlier inthe year. I give it a miss mate. From my understanding, you have to buy one to get the other free, nothing is free in advertising, ever, unless your doing it yourself. | | |

| Re: Yellow Pages | | just went through similar experience, give it a miss as scrub says. There are plenty of people out there willing to take your money with no gurantee of a return, too many sharks out there so don't let em bite | | |

| Re: Yellow Pages | | You will probably still get your free line entry. The extra cost will be for a proper advert. Only you can judge if it would be worthwhile. Personally, wouldn't bother.

| Re: Yellow Pages | | I'm getting the feeling I've missed some of that rare free advertising I'm so adiment doesnt exist, lol. Maybe I'm a bit hasty to tell cold callers to sod off when they reckon they have a gift for me. Hmmmmmmm ;-( | | |
