The partnership enables Tiscali users to search for businesses via a keyword search box. Once users have entered the type of business and their location, a results page displays Thomson's pay-per-click advertisers at the top and directory listings on the left-hand side.
Alex Hole, Tiscali UK commercial director, said: "Our aim is to provide fast and easy access to local business information for our users. We already have an excellent partnership with Thomson Directories and it demonstrated it could provide what we were looking for with the best local search proposition -- a key requirement for our business."
Ben Barney, Thomson Directories partner development manager, said: "Thomson Directories is ideally placed to capitalise on the local search marketplace with our market-leading database of UK businesses and the most comprehensive set of local pay-per-click results. We offer our partners well-monetised local search results and a great user experience."
