Why Insiderpages.com might be a killer
Insider Pages is a simple but great idea. It is built around the concept that the best way to find a local business is through a personal recommendation. Unlike the Yellow Pages or other search sites, it offers you the ability to search business reviews written by friends and other people in your local area or a specific city or zip code. People will probably appreciate the qualitative difference between an online detailed written review of a plumber in your area from someone you know and trust to a star rating from a stranger. As most local advertisers are phone-based as opposed to Web-based businesses, Insider Pages offers a pay-per-telephone-call system, providing local advertisers an effective way to drive customers to their business.
Some questions about Insiderpages.com
Will Insider Pages be able to compete with big name search engines offering similar services? Yahoo! lets users rate and review businesses as part of its local search service, and Google aggregates reviews from the Web within some local results. Are they making enough of a profit to keep up to date info on all the cities that are coming in?
