TECH CRUNCH -- Sep 2 -- In July, Yelp had 8.6M unique U.S. visitors, up
80% from a year ago. Citysearch, on the other hand, had zero growth,
staying at 15.4M uniques.(comScore). Yelp also has the No. 1 travel app
on the iPhone (it is No. 26 overall). Whereas Citysearch’s similar
iPhone app is not even in the top 20 travel apps. Yelp’s pageviews and
average time spent per user on the site are also up 150% and 22%,
respectively. Kara Nortman, the executive who runs Citysearch, says
that the pageview numbers are down slightly. Part of this has to do
with Citysearch going through the site and “pulling out pages that are
not great consumer experiences,” which hurts SEO, but improves the site
overall. FULL ARTICLE @ TECH CRUNCH
