true, but it makes it hard for those of us working on local search sites to crawl their sites too :/

  Look into the Factual API for restaurants to solve this problem.

    it looks like most of your data came from crawling us (yellowpages.com)

      I don't work for Factual, so I can't speak to that. Does Yellowpages.com have an API to access this data? I've worked with the Yellowbook API in the past, and wasn't that impressed.

  Oh, you mean "web-crawl". With restaurants, its much better to "physically crawl", some of the really good hole-in-the-wall places, I think, would be terrible at self-categorization. I think its much better for restaurants to list themselves with a service like "yelp" or "open-table" or even the local city paper than to try to make anything more than a bare-bones website.

    you should always own your online presence.
