How many of these 50 are localeze.com partners? For the ones that are one submission to Localeze for a measly $300/yr will get you listed w/ a link.

My best friend is starting a business listing sit with "added" extras, for a fraction of the cost, that looks and feels amazing! Watch out for @TBCUK on twitter and feel free to DM her for more details :-)
@NatalieJayW
The YellowPages.com link is incorrect. Should be http://www.yp.com
Localeze will distribute your information, but it will most likely be buried by better optimized & paid listings. Follow Tony's advice and claim your free listings online in as many places as you can.
This is a terrific resource--thanks so much.
Hi Guys, it is the World Wide Web you know! Found this a very US centric list.
Thanks for the info. I will be book marking this for future resources !

This is a great list but I did notice that TeleAtlas is on there twice.
The YellowAssistance link is incorrect. It should be http://yellowassistance.com.
Looks like links for 41 and 42 are the same.
Got a bit fed up of keep hitting US only sites. I think there were only a couple that worked for me then I gave up it would be useful if when you post lists such as these if you could separate out the US only sites
Someone mentioned Locandex. You can claim and manage your listing for free there -
localndex.com/claim. Thanks for providing a great resource for businesses, Hubspot!
MatchPoint should be => http://www.matchpoint.com/ ...
great resources provided really helpful..thanx for great effort
Great list, an have to agree with other commenters regards the US-centric leaning! Smaller - more "local" - sites spring up all over often covering tighter geographical areas in other countries.
Great List. Its very useful for our business visibility. Shall we use this listing for geotarget purpose?
I have worked with local search for about four years now, and have experience with many of these sites. I know the ins and outs of the local search world, so to speak. If you are interested in making sure your information is listed correctly on these sites, send me an email. I can help your organization ensure all of your listings are correct and where they need to be online.
Thanks for sharing the list, very helpful of you.
Found another one.
Hotfrog - http://www.hotfrog.com/
RelyLocal.com is an up and coming local directory that should be on this list.
Two questions:
1. I work at home (and use a PO Box) does a list exist or can you make one that is not reliant on listing a physical address?
2. Is this free?

Most of the time, you are able to omit your address and place a phone number and name only on these sites. It is free to claim your listings on the sites, however, you will most likely start to field sales calls from each site to purchase upgraded listings.
Post your business on http://aol.it/PatchSite. Not every city has their own Patch site, but it's free to list your business. They promote themselves as "...your source for local knowledge you can't live without."
Thanks a lot! This is very useful.
Great listing...Thanks...I have bookmarked...I help local businesses..This listing is very helpful. Thanks once again.
I work at home - don't want a biz directory that points to my home with a published map - nor even to my PO box location. Anyone have a directory list that is good for folks like me -and there are many of us!
Thanks for this list. This is one of the first things I do for my clients. I didn't have a few of these directories though so I just added them to my list. Thanks!
www.americantowns.com is another I've found
Excellent resources! This is mainly for the US market. Does anyone have a list of Australian local directories?? Thanks in advance!
Wonderful list! Thanks for sharing, would be really helpful for internet marketers.
LocalCompanySearch.com has a network of niche business directories. You can find links to the different niche directories they have at their website.
