Email confirmation is an important security check that helps prevent other people from signing up for a Yellow Pages Account using your email address. If you need to confirm your email address, you'll see a warning notice when you log in to your YellowPages Account on your profile page.

It should only take a few seconds to confirm your email address. Upon signing up for your account, we'll send a short email with confirmation instructions to the email address you gave us.

The email confirmation is sent to the email address you used to sign up for your Yellow Pages Account. (Note: this email address may be different from your Facebook email address).

If you did not receive the email confirmation, it may be due to an invalid email address or restrictions from your email provider or internet service that are blocking email from Yellow Pages.

First, check the email address you provided us with for your Yellow Pages Account. There may be a typo in the email address. If the email address is correct, then check your email spam filters to make sure that the confirmation email hasn't been sent to your junk, spam or bulk mail folders.

If you find a typo in the email address or you can't find the confirmation email in your spam folders, please create a new account, following the instructions under: How to create your Yellow Pages Account?.

Entering a review is simple and empowering. Reading reviews will help you make the right purchase decision!

Here's a little more insight to help you make the best of this program.

First and foremost, we encourage users to share their opinions and experiences for any business type. Yellowpages.ca users can enter reviews on any business, from a restaurant or hotel to a dentist clinic or car repair shop.

• All reviewers must first be logged in, via Facebook Connect or your Yellow Pages account, before sharing an experience.
• Once logged in, a reviewer will be taken to our review submission form and asked to rate, from 1 to 5 stars, the business service or product's overall performance.
• Your opinion will reach further than you think! If you have provided us the permission via the review submission form, a Facebook news feed post will appear automatically, to share with all your friends about the review you've entered on YellowPages.ca site.

• We have put in place automatic filters to screen any profanity from the get-go. Users will not be able to submit reviews before removing inappropriate terms.
• Once submitted, reviews will not be instantly published online; they will be moderated by Yellow Pages Group to ensure any abusive content, privacy issues or liability matters are rejected. Text submitted will be screened against predetermined guidelines to ensure Yellow Pages Group publishes proper content that will enhance the online community experience.
• All review rejection causes are listed and available within the review submission process (see details below).
• Reviews that are approved by our moderation team will be published online, within one business day of the reviewer' submission.

These guidelines are applied via a moderation process that is very important to us, because it drives authentic user generated content, while preserving the quality of content we are committed to publishing on yellowpages.ca.
