Mesa, Ariz.-based LiveDeal has partnered with Yelp to add consumer ratings and reviews to its combined online classifieds and Yellow Pages service. In the coming weeks, Livedeal.com will begin integrating user recommendations from Yelp.com into its local business listings.

"Consumers feel better doing business with companies that have been given a seal of approval by fellow neighbors," says LiveDeal President Rajesh Navar. "We are confident that empowering our users with the best-of-breed user generated reviews will make LiveDeal.com an even more satisfying experience."

Santa Clara, Calif.-based Yelp was founded in San Francisco in 2004, and now boasts a reported 1.8 million customer reviews.
