Good find anallawalla. Excellent article and hits the nail right on the head.

YP online has always been difficult and v.e.r.y. s.l.o.w... This new site is very fast give rather good results. The question now is how to monetise the site.

I know the yellowpages.com.au product like the back of my hand ;)

The Sensis sales force is one of the stongest in the country. It will take them a long, long time to get even close to what Sensis have in terms of a salesforce.

Good luck to them though, at least they are having a crack :)

I see everyone are using the same data set.

[phonebook.com.au...]
[localsearch.yahoo.com.au...]

Interesting times.

Good catch Figrin,

They both appear to be using the same partner - the Australian Local Search database - look at the T&Cs pages for each service.... 10.5C and 2.2 respectively...
