bbadeggs: Is there a way to block?business directories like YELLOW and finda and all of the buggers showing up in google?
?
Aren't yellow and finda now owned by the same company.Don't yellow have some form of agreement with google, so that could be why they are ranking higher.
When I was called by the yellow pages, they told me they could manage all my google advertrising requiremetns, such as adwords, as they now had some form of partnership with them. That was a few years ago. But I do also recall reading something in the paper about there being a relationship with google and finda.
AdWords Management is nothing more than what advertising agencies do. The agreement between Finda and Google is not for page positioning, but for content - that's how Google Places gets the content for its pages - if the business haven't claimed a place, then by default Google will show content from Finda in a business page.
Here's an example of a Google Places page: Seagulls.

Thanks, that is interesting to know. I have found that google is collaborating their results a lot more these days from different google sources. So a normal google search will also display results from images, maps, places etc.
