I don’t like to complain, but sometimes you really need to let off steam. I’d like to warn all my friends, colleagues, and competition of my HORRIBLE experiences with YellowPages.com.

These folks promised me the world. New business, more calls than I could handle, etc. Guess what I got? Zip, zilch, zero, nada. I would have been better off giving all that hard-earned money to charity, for all the good it did me.

I won’t name names, but my sales rep was non-existent from the time I signed the contract, until just after I called to cancel. Plus for all their promise, I couldn’t find my own website thru the search engines, no matter what I typed in for a search. Now, I may not be a computer expert, but neither are my clients. And I can certainly find things when I search on the Web.

I figured, if I can’t find me, neither can prospective clients.

The folks at YPC insisted that I was indeed receiving all the clicks I was paying for, and their reports backed up their claims. Folks, the proof is in the pudding. To me, Zero calls means Zero success. They did admit to a small problem, which they supposedly corrected, but still no new business. At least from them.

If I thought it would do me any good, I’d sue them. But that’s just throwing good money after bad.

Friends, there’s an old business adage that says, ” If you’re happy with someone’s work, you’ll tell 2 or 3 people. If you’re unhappy, you’ll tell 10.” Well I’m trying to reach as many people as possible to tell them “Save your money, don’t use YellowPages.com!!!”

Think I’m unhappy? Not as unhappy as YPC once this ball gets rolling. Pass this info on to those you know. Thanks for letting me vent.

Post Script 2/21/09 I’m now with an Internet service that has, in ONLY 2 WEEKS, done what YPC couldn’t do in a full year! My company shows up on almost EVERY search, that’s 9 out of 10 times, within my keyword parameters. Why couldn’t YOU do that, YPC??
