					<description><![CDATA[Hi Amy,

Sounds like there are quite a few of us who have had the negative experience of Yell.com / Hibu.  

Despite there&#039;s grossly offensive call to me they did still push a sales visit on me, which I grudgingly accepted to see if there was any potential benefit.  

Unfortunately, the case for taking out Yell.com advertising was very flimsy, very inflexible, a tie in contract and right from the off I was told, basically, that if the ad didn&#039;t work it was the business being advertised rather than Yell.com, the business doing the advertising.  

It makes me very nervous when excuses are being made for a product / service (especially one on a minimum term contract) before you&#039;ve even agreed to take it out!

I have to laugh at the &#039;nobody&#039;s said it&#039;s bad&#039; comment that they made to you.  Is it a case of nobody&#039;s said it&#039;s bad or a case of we&#039;re not listening to anybody who says it&#039;s bad?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I absolutely agree. I had one of their salesmen come to visit me and he tried to tell me Yell don&#039;t make a profit off their advertising. Well I guess that might be true but that either makes them 1) a failing business or 2) a Not-for-Profit organization which they are definitely not. Then (on my insistence) they got the statistics out. The page views for their ads were abysmal, the click-through bad and they were asking me (I did the maths) to pay a rate of 40p per VIEW (On a page crowded with other advertisements with their baby Hibu at the top I might add). He said &#039;We&#039;ll nobody&#039;s every said it&#039;s bad or that they don&#039;t want to do it! Guess what I said?]]></description>
