Q3 appears to be a particularly weak quarter for JustDial, at least when it comes to the Internet part of its business: PC Internet visits (-11.3%) and searches (-11%) both declined sequentially for the Quarter ending December 31st 2013 for the listings and search giant, pulling down both total usage (by 5.7%) and total searches (by 5.8%).
