  *Axciom.com I have no idea what page to use. These guys need some usability help*

  I believe that axciom will not allow an individual to update or add a listing to their database. They get their local data straight from Telephone companies. I think the strategy behind this is to have telephone company operators hand-edit their information.

  Incidentally, Google can than can get this hand- edited information from a site like Allpages.com, which I bet includes the age of the listing and use it part of the Maps Algo.

  Axciom has been “axced”. Thanks Tim.

  Thanks for the list Andrew. When you build your list of free listings inside niche markets let me know, I’ve got your back.

  Frank’s page is awesome. If you are looking for a more exhaustive list of places to update your data it’s a good start. If you are just looking for the biggest bang for the buck I think mine should do just fine.

  FYI some of Frank’s links are out of date.

  I’m hurt Andrew! We’ve been through so much and you still neglect us here at Zvents

• 9 Andrew Shotland // Oct 19, 2007 at 5:44 pm

  And of course everyone should make sure their business is listed on Zvents.com.

  Paul, please point my readers to the page on your site where you can add your listing and I’ll be happy to post it.

  Great list but are you only listing US sites? There’s a fair few UK sites as well and local search is huge over here. Just to get you started there’s http://www.bizwiki.co.uk - wiki style business directory where any registered user can contribute and it’s free to submit/change, http://www.welovelocal.com - businesses must be verified and then it’s free for them to submit/change, http://www.touchlocal.com - basic listing is free.

  Teresha,

  Unfortunately I am a typical American and only thinking about what happens in these borders. Thanks for expanding my limited world-view.

  Just FYI: in all of our ‘expansion’ markets (ie, any market outside of Atlanta, Las Vegas, San Diego and Arizona), Kudzu is giving away FREE Premium Profiles through 2008 (a $900 value), if you add your business before the end of the year. In addition to display features (logo, photos, video, etc.), Premium Profiles show up higher in search results…

  I’ve just found myself userped from the local results for my primary keyword, so thanks for the info. I’m based in Glasgow UK, so many of your links aren’t of use, but perhaps those on Franks page will be.

  Thanks again.
