Sean Hakes the owner of Denver SEO Consulting Agency – Sean Hakes, Inc recently blogged about the pitfalls of YellowPages.com a AT&T Interactive company. Here’s a quick snippet that might just help your business save thousands by avoiding YellowPages.com. You can read the entire YellowPages.com Review here.

Small Business Owners know me for my honest reviews. Ready or not – here’s my official review of YellowPages.com.

YellowPages.com who is also known as YP or AT&T Interactive is better known as an online yellow pages business directory – for business owners it’s a service that’s filled with open ended advertising promises that will quickly drain your advertising budget or even your completely sabotage your business from very little ineffective results.

As a Digital Advertising & Media buyer I will no longer recommend YellowPages.com to any of our advertisers or any small businesses – period. Their crafty sales tactics combined with a long term contract are the exact tools that YellowPages.com rely on to lock into your cash while delivering less than desirable results – you can take that to the bank.

Lucky for our advertisers, our media buying services come with a full in-house legal counsel representation that is designed to act as a buffer from less than ethical businesses practices like that of YellowPages.com.

Here’s where it gets personal:

One of our clients were snickered into a stealthy contract that was based on exceptional results expectations that were almost too good to be true; and they were.

I got involved by sending Deann Mayeda, the Press and Media Contact for AT&T Interactive briefly telling her about my client’s dissatisfaction.
