    In the favor of Yell’s credit you got to say that they are very up to date and effective, even when finding new categories for their yellowpages service:

    Oops - should be where above.

    Hmmz - that the thing with using mod_rewrite or dynamic urls - and also why Kelkoo have some curious entries in there robots.txt file.

    Those questionable robots entries show that this has been linked to before.

    I have a plan for them, only show categories that actually exist in the db. Job done

    It was pretty cruel to put sorry we are spamming and then look at people we ripped off in the link text (LOL).
