The sad part about it is that there are businesses who ONLY use yellow page advertising -- that don't want websites -- and aren't being seen by the demographic age groups they are trying to target. In which case... the advertising is just a waste of dollars.

The yellow pages aren't hurting in this neck of the woods. I've seen numerous google ads for them where you can get a listing in the printed book, listed in the yellow pages online, and they will build you a website starting at $250 per month. Not bad... getting paid every month for a website that hardly ever gets updated. In 3 years they made $9000 off of one website -- and that's a very basic website. And yes... there are people opting for this....
