I only have 4 reviews on Angie's list. Each time I get one, I get a phone call, email and a letter from them trying to get me to advertise with them. Has anyone done this? how have the results been?
Angie's List is being sued by their own members for deceptive sales practices, and are in even more trouble for trying to hide the lawsuit from investors. Their salespeople all seem like they came from the yellow pages sales school and will tell you anything to get you to spend more money with them. Once their unethical behavior becomes common knowledge they may sink like Groupon.They gave me the line about their average customer having a $100k annual income. If they are talking about Idaho incomes they are full of crap.
Maybe, maybe not. Some have joined because they think there's value in the reviews and will become good long-term customers. Maybe an equal amount are coupon clippers that will pick your work apart hoping that the threat of a poor review will get them even bigger discounts.Nevertheless, I think if a consumer is willing to pay to be a member on that site, then they might be a better client to go after.

Like any other marketing medium, AL should be exploited to the extent possible in your area. My experience with AL has been positive. It makes me money.
