What is the Difference between white and yellow pages?

Posted by webdes on April 22nd, 2014

White Pages

The white pages in a phone book are for personal land line phone numbers and street addresses in a specific region. The white pages are organized alphabetically by name, with the surname (or last name) first, then first name followed by middle name or initial, if applicable. Everyone with a land line telephone service is registered with the phone book printer under the name of the phone service account unless they opt out of the phone book by calling the phone book company and asking to be on the red list. This red list will stop a person's name from appearing in the phone book and online on the phone book website.

Yellow Pages

The yellow pages generally follow the white pages in the phone book, in the back half. The yellow pages are all business listings, with the name, number and address of local businesses. They differ from the white pages in that yellow pages are paid listings, meaning that businesses must pay for the listing in the book and can also pay extra money for larger more attention-grabbing ads. The second major difference is that the businesses are first listed by category and then in alphabetical order by name.


A particular yellow pages is a print directory which provides an alphabetical listing of businesses within a specific geographical area, which are segregated under headings for similar types of businesses .Traditionally these directories have been published by the local phone company, but there are numerous independent directory publishers. Some yellow pages publishers focus on a particular demographic.


Mayihelpyou is an internet based yellow pages business directory, aiming to generate real-time and genuine database of all business levels, locally as well as globally, so as to become a panacea for all business information seekers.
