Why did we create Yokl'd?
We understand there are many sources to obtain local business information, but none of the existing solutions meet the needs in the marketplace:
- The Yellow Pages only provides alphabetical lists or listings differentiated by the size of an advertisement. Therefore, the only way for a user to make a distinction is through the amount of money spent by a particular company. This does not assist in discriminating good experiences from bad.
- Professional newspapers and magazine critics have unique tastes and biases that sometimes significantly differ from a customer’s point of view.
- Search engine results simply provide electronic Yellow Pages or paid placement ads. Again, this information doesn’t help separate the great from the mediocre.
- Local search sites like CitySearch and Yelp! provide user generated content for local businesses using a controversial five-star rating system. Users debate the use of the five-star rating because people within the general population have very different tastes. This ranking system provides no way to tell if a group of people ranking a business shares the same tastes as a specific user.
In short, Yokl’d provides a better solution for the discriminating consumer, business traveler, or weekend connoisseur.
Join the Yokld Partner Revenue Sharing Program[2]
While there’s no shortage of social voting and user generated content sites on the Internet, to date very few of these sites compensate users for their participation. While a few sites have revenue sharing models within their user generated content community none are as simple and easy to participate in as the Yokl’d Partner Revenue Sharing Program.
The Yokl’d Partner Program will share 50% of Cost Per Click (CPC) advertising revenue generated from a users business listing pages with Partners. Partner revenue is earned when any CPC advertisement that is included on any Partners business listing pages (only the pages that include detailed business listing, comments, and map.) are clicked.
Advertising revenue that a Partner earns depends on the number of clicks and also the value of each click. Yokl’d pays Partners an allocated percentage of CPC revenue via PayPal 45 days after the end of each month. For the life of Yokl’d, advertising revenue derived from Partner added business listings pages will be shared with Partners.
