Dex One Announces Distribution Agreement with Citysearch

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

Dex One is once again partnering with a popular online local business listing and review site in an effort to enhance the listings on its own Internet directory, DexKnows.com.

Earlier this month, Dex One announced a partnership with Yelp, the popular local business review site, to provide consumer feedback on its local search listings.

Now, the company is entering into a distribution agreement with Citysearch—the online local media company— that will give Dex One advertisers the option of having their listings appear across CityGrid, the largest content and ad network for local, in addition to DexKnows.com. According to this morning’s release, the agreement expands Dex One’s online distribution network of industry-leading partner sites by giving consumers exposure to Citygrid’s 140 million unique users across the Web.

I think these recent announcements represent an interesting approach by Dex One in which the company is looking to leverage the success of its online competitors to gain new visibility and value for both its local business customers and its regular users.

R.H. Donnelley Emerges from Bankruptcy as Dex One Corp.

Monday, February 1, 2010

We’re excited to share news that Yellow Pages publisher R.H. Donnelley, which we heard last month was close to exiting bankruptcy, has announced its emergence from Chapter 11 protection as the new Dex One Corporation.

In a press release this morning, the company introduced a new board of directors and its listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “DEXO.”

Dex One chairman and CEO David C. Swanson stressed his company’s plans to further develop a hybrid range of advertising solutions including online and mobile search, print yellow pages directories, voice-search platforms and pay-per-click networks.

“We selected the Dex One name because it clearly communicates who we are and what we do – Dex, your trusted marketing partner for over a hundred years, and now, your One stop shop for getting your business exposed to active buying consumers whether they’re searching our robust suite of Dex products or on other major search sites or search engines,” Swanson said.

As we’ve noted, Dex One currently lists 11.5 million businesses online through its DexKnows.com Web site, supplies content for YellowPages.com, and has deals with search engines such as Google and Yahoo. The company is also beginning to offer online video advertising and reputation management for companies seeking to improve their online customer reviews.
