I can’t seem to access the list. It seems to redirect me around in circles to a pingback page. Every time I click on one of the links to try and access the list I get redirected back o the same spot. Any thoughts?

This is quite literally the best resource for small business owners interested in Local Search that I have found – and I do this for a living.

I would be interested in finding someone who has analyzed the page rank potential of various individual listings. I’ve seen some listings on MerchantCircle and Brownbook.net attain a PR of 2 or (rarely) 3 over time. It would be nice to discover whether this is because of the directory, the members activity, content, or a mixture of several factors.

What a terrific resource list! I am already listed in most of them but finding a handful that I am not is great. Thanks for this comprehensive list.

@ Chris Travers – Thanks for the heads up on your services Chris. I reviewed the site, programs and content and think it will make a great addition to the newly released guide. I added your company into the data providers section, hope that works (BTW, I took the link out of your main comment, since it already posts from your comment using your name as anchor text).

Thanks for the comment and suggestion. Best.

We would like to advise your readers too that UniversalBusinessListing should be on your list. We launched only late last year, but we allow a business to post and manage their business listing in one place and have that distributed to all major Search Engines, Local Directories, Internet yellow Pages and 411 Directory Assistance. A very small fee, industry initiative to make life easier for businesses and the directories.
