I get that part. That’s a no brainer. It’s getting people to these sites and actually using them that is the trouble. If if a listing occurs in the forest with no one who really cares to see it ….. is it valuable then? IMHO, this model is on a slow bleed out.

You say you still don’t understand the value of having your company listed with ALL of your competition. Well, it’s so easy to understand: If potential customers don’t find you, they will find your competion. Period!
