See: http://www.gettingbusinessonline.com.au/

We were concerned that this would be popular and drive businesses to shift their advertising focus. The reality is that it has been a flop. Not that many real local businesses have taken them up on the free offer, and of those I’d suspect that their upgrade rates to the paid offer would be non-existent.

This is a non-event. Would have thought they would have learnt the lesson from Australia before trying again in the US.
