Superpages Adds Local Events

By Greg Sterling

Maybe this has been on the site for weeks and I haven’t seen it but Superpages now features a listing of local events:

Superpages events

The events data are provided by American Towns, which hosts the actual listing.

What’s interesting about this to me is the way it further expands the yellow pages “use cases” beyond core service business listings. One of the IYP efforts has been to develop traffic through biz dev and third party relationships. But improving site usage frequency is an equally important initiative.

    How does the money flow in this relationship?

    Is this relationship not a model for which many verticals can play?

    Comments appreciated.

    I don’t know what the terms are. American Towns is eager to syndicate their data and Idearc bought a URL from them previously. Beyond that I don’t know.

    I thought Idearc also bought a chunk of AT?
