Great news! I run a local service company and stopped advertising with Yelp several months ago. No transparency how clicks go to $12 when they used to be $5. That's not even a click to your site, just your Yelp profile still on their site!

On top of it, my 5 star reviews keep getting filtered, even ones that have shown for months. Meanwhile two recent 1-star reviews we got with people from brand new accounts still show just fine.

GOOD RIDDANCE, hope they go BK. They deserve it.

Does Homeaway (public company) have to worry about these ordinances as well?

On some searches now Google barely displays and real results at all. The map results are gone, adwords are gone and now they show Local Services at the top requesting quotes.

For example: Plumbers in San Francisco

When people move and sell furniture, they often times need a cleaning to satisfy a condition of selling a home or getting their full security deposit back. Only synergy I really see and anything old is stale. Probably very cheap list.

$90 for the lead, not what it is worth overall. They're not closing 100% and the leads may be shared down the pingtree or as they age.

So are they up to like 600 or 1200 users now?

I'd appreciate if they let me unsubscribe from their damn emails on a catch all account where I get a former employee's emails. They make you log-in to opt out and I'm not about to reset the guy's password in case he still uses linkedin.

No multivariate testing and have to use 2 different pages now. Really miss GWO, very easy multi-variate testing, simple, FREE. Not real time was the only downside.

Side note: I went to high school with Phil (article author) - he is a smart guy.

Having really bad issues with mail.app and syncing with 1 out of my 3 gmail inboxes... nothing is showing up at all. Anyone else?

DKIM is not a feedback loop. A feedback loop is when someone hits spam on one of your emails, the provider lets you know what message caused the user to hit spam. If you have a unique message id or something else in the email encoded in you can tell who it was and not send them any more emails.

i wish they did have a feedback loop. i have a catch-all domain and an employee that was terminated with us left so now I get the barrage of emails to a general box for his LI account.

well he never updated his linkedin to a new email and you have to sign in to unsubscribe. well, i don't want to reset his password because i can see he still uses the LI and there is no way to stop these emails. seems like making it impossible to unsubscribe would violate CAN-SPAM.

gmail does not have a feedback loop
