I received the following email from AussieWeb today:

Hi Peter,
This is the team from AussieWeb Local Search where your free business listing exists at http://www.aussieweb.com.au/
One of the largest activities for small businesses is finding the right staff. We hear this all the time from the users of our local search directory.
For this reason we have added http://www.mycareer.com.au/ to our business directory web site. You can now add job vacancies to your listing and receive a 5% discount from My Career. To get the 5% discount, simply log in to update your listing on AussieWeb Local Search and then click on the Jobs tab to enter the MyCareer website to register your vacancy.
As an added bonus, users of our directory will find job vacancies for your company when they search on your type of business, thus giving your job advertisement more exposure and increasing it’s effectiveness. Of course, your ad will also appear on the My Career web site. A win-win for all concerned.

From digging a little deeper, this appears to be one of many new additions that AussieWeb are introducing to their local search directory.
AussieWeb’s Official Blog provides a little more information with their posts - AussieWeb Local Search looking for new additions and My Career being add to AussieWeb Local Search
Building the business directory profiles
Here’s where the fun stops and we get serious. In order to provide you with the best informed opinions of the Australian local search world we strive to:
- stay in contact with directory owners and management
- present the latest developments across the industry
- discuss opinions with leading authorities
- recommend listing strategies for free/paid directories
- host interviews with informed sources
Finally, we will present this information in it’s simplest fashion. Our team aren’t stroking anyones back so you can be assured you’re getting the best deal in your visit.
We can’t do this alone, shortly you’ll be able to help us decide the top directories by submitting reviews, ratings and feedback of your experience with them.
Watch them purr like a kitten or deal that punishing blow you’ve held onto for too long, it’s all about involving you in our efforts. Stay tuned.
Why focus on local Australian search?
I’m Peter Newsome and like Michael, I’m also a co-founder and contributing writer for Start Listing.
Locally focused search has been around for a number of years, both internationally and here in Australia, but there has never been a greater focus on local search than now. This was recently re-enforced when Google formed a partnership with Rupert Murdoch’s company, News Corporation (owners of TrueLocal) earlier this year. More details here - Google and News map out web deal.
Whilst the larger players are gaining press coverage, there are still a lot of smaller, high quality business directories that have been embracing Australia’s booming local online search market without all the accolades.
At Start Listing, we don’t discriminate - it doesn’t matter whether you’re as big as Google or a much smaller niche directory - if it provides benefit to the Australian Search Market, we’ll be reporting on it.
We also encourage feedback from all our readers - so please, don’t be shy to add comments and let us know what YOU think.
