Just stumbled accross this site localgreenpages dt com.

I thought it was quite cool and a good idea, what does everyone else think?

Seems a little slow but the results seem pretty good, I didnt check but I think you are supposed to pay for placement but I maybe wrong.

With our premier search engine you will be able to search our extensive database of over 26 million UK Business listings.

Given that there are only around 2.1 million UK businesses, the figure of 26 million seems pretty, erm, optimistic to say the least! From having looked at this particular site before, I know the database to be well over a year out of date, hence result quality varies dramatically.

Their revenue model is pretty common - directories such as 192, Askalix, Scoot & Yell (to be alphabetic & correct!) all have similar models based upon free basic listings, with the option of paying for 'enhancements' such as web links, ability to update details instantly, etc.
