Helping businesses beat the downturn - Brownbook.net goes TOTALLY free

Oct. 2, 2009 - PRLog -- United Kingdom - The global business directory which already lists over 27 million businesses, Brownbook.net, is now TOTALLY free for all businesses everywhere in the World, helping them beat the downturn.

All paid services on the website have now been eliminated, making it totally free for businesses to claim and enhance their business profiles, including adding keywords to describe the business, a link to their web site,  photos, videos, logos, coupons, offers and widgets.

Now, any business, anywhere in the world, can get a rich multimedia business profile page that's highly optimized for search engines to help them get found more online, for the total sum of ZERO – no strings attached, no trial period, simply free. No other local search, business directory or Yellow Pages offers a comparable business profile at any price, let alone free.

“Having been influenced by Chris Anderson’s book ‘The Long Tail’ originally, we have taken his new book ‘Free’ to heart...” says Marc Lyne, Brownbook co-founder.
