To advertise on Yelp.com,

Ok be honest how of many of you thought this would be an offer for sex?

Yelp.com is a great service our massage business has seen a tremendous increase in business in the last 2 months. I recently wrote a blog post personally thanking everyone on yelp.com for all their great comments. I was recently contacted by a representative from yelp.com, with an offer of $3600 for the year to advertise with them.

So my question is this, is anyone paying this rate right now and what kind of returns are seeing to your business?

At $300 a month minimum for their annual contract, it is not easy just to write a check, I will be locked in that contract for a whole year whether it is working or not. Especially when all the free stuff is doing so well for us, I say free but honestly it is not free, we work very hard for the positive comments on yelp.com. As far as I know we are the first massage business in the Bay Area with a 100% guarantee on all their therapeutic massage services. And we also take most of our competitors gift certificates, and donate them to individuals who cannot afford to get a massage and really need one. Yes you read it correctly we do accept gift certificates from other massage businesses, in trade for getting your massage work from us.

In these times where foreclosures are at an all time high, gas prices sky rocketing at almost $4.00 a gallon, and talks of us hitting a recession daily in the media. I would like to hear from someone who has some experiences with the pay options on yelp, please share with us.

P.S. Please if you have some time create a free acct. it only take a couple of minutes and if you look below you will see a place to stumble, del.icio.us and add us to mixx we would appreciate it if you choose 1 or 2 of them and bookmark us, thank you.
