So a few months in, hows it going? Or you still at the planning stage?

Well I have the site up, but put it on the back burner for now. I personally think it has the potential but I dont have the time or the budget to get it rolling as of yet. So for now its just gaining some age

But what I can say is great about it is, for Google Places. I can have my own citations for any business I want in or around the area.

But for now, for now I would need to work on my sales skills so that I can go out and sell it, then later on may be get a sales team from the profits.

Doing other more interesting things at the moment :P

That is very expensive for a directory.

We launched My Local Services in the US a couple of years ago, it's growing nicely, but is 100% free for all listings...

Ahh how a thread changes! MLS US is free no more

As we know that there are yellow pages directories both with printed and online version. Business needs are going on top these days more into online. Local directories itself has started the big competition. I would suggest to have better competitor analysis before you start any local directory.
