What you are trying to do is grea!!!! But maybe the name change will defenitly boost, your sale and hits. These name are very easy to remeber and catchy. I was gonna kind of work twordards the same same idea but..... These domain names are for sale through godaddy, maybe this will really get you out there nationwide. Not trying to add to or make better to you great idea, just thought maybe they can really produce the way they are supposed to. Im not asking a million dollars either for the domain names, just think about what your business does, and how these names will make your business a house hold name!!! Respectfully, Ronald Trail I own this domain name and pricethatdfw.com,pricethatseattle.com,pricethatpheonix.com,pricethatphilidelphia.com,pricethatmiami.com,pricethatnyc.com,pricethatla.com.

I found my home inpection company and my vet at some point on kudzu.com ( both at the top of their category) and they were both terrible. I fact, We've lost almost $10,000 in repairs because of the issues the inspection company missed ( #1 rated on kudzu). To write a review on kudzu all you need is an email address. I could easily create 10-20 email addresses on yahoo or google and write reviews for my own business. Nobody would even know. As for home reports, I received a copy of it and looked up the companies that did the repairs on our house that we bought recently. These were the companies we were not happy with ( one foundation repair company, one termite repair). They are both rated as the best ones for years on home reports. Just to show that this is NOT just my personal opinion, I contacted Georgia Department of Agriculture ( who oversees the termite companies) when dealing with my termine company and the inspector from GDA had only bad things to say about this company. So how is it listed as the best one on home reports. Maybe it's true that you can't pay Home Reports to have it listed, but I'm sure home reports accepts paid advertising from these companies to be included in their report. If they rated some company as bad, do you think that company would buy advertising space from them? I agree that kudzu.com is completely useless.

Once worth watching is LocalPrice. Unlike consumer review oriented sites like Kudzu, this site focuses on comparison of service providers based on prices and other objective comparison criteria. They cover a range of services including: <a href="http://www.localprice.com/atlanta/limos.html" rel="nofollow">Atlanta limos </a>, <a href="http://www.localprice.com/atlanta/lasik.html" rel="nofollow">Atlanta LASIK surgeons</a>, and <a href="http://www.localprice.com/atlanta/locksmiths.html" rel="nofollow">Atlanta locksmiths</a>.

I believe their homepage is http://www.homereports.com . They do market research on contractors in the Atlanta area and they use consumer reviews as well as a grading scale to publish contractors in their listing. You can't just pay to be in it. Pretty useful book for locals here in Atlanta. Another great source in Atlanta is a publication called Home Reports. I believe their homepage is http://www.homereports.com .

I will have to look them up. Also, just for reference, we have published a new white paper titled :Local Search: Time for a Tune up"? A link to the paper can be found on our homepage (www.telemapics.com ). The paper is free, non-commercial and does not require registration to download a copy. Hi:
