This Times piece explores the Yellow Pages market of small businesses (plumbers, etc) who don’t have websites but increasingly feel the pressure to have an online advertising presence. Why? Because the customers are increasingly using search instead of the Yellow Pages (the Times based that conclusion on research from the Kelsey Group and Bizrate.) The article provides an overview of the current state of Overture and Google’s local search solutions.
