Of course you will site #'s but it would be nice to see the facts. Here are some other facts. There are amny more of these from Kelsey, SIMBA and the Wall Sreet Journal. We all know the internet is growing and there is a large pie to share, but pleae stop being irresponsible by saying yellow pages is down to 30%. It is still the highest ROI by far over SEM and will be for a little while yet. Look below.

There's no question that the Googleplex is gaining dollars from YP but YP has worked hard to build and maintain credibility. The ability of the Yellow Pages to direct sales to specific businesses is still rather remarkable; and although various pubs' salespeople are about as pushy as God can make salespeople, I don't think YP is outbound quick so soon. Ta for Wednesday. Steve: I’ve come late to this party but I welcomed reading John’s inputs.
