The Yellow Pages are dying.  Printed directories are going the way of the dinosaurs.  Why?  Because updating and distributing them electronically is immensely cheaper.  The power of the internet as a communication vehicle is astounding.  It is incredibly cheap.  You can have your site hosted for as little as $10 per month.

When people use the Yellow Pages, they have to flip through a book.  When they use a search engine, they type in a few words.  Their words are far more specific than the yellow pages categories.

Try to match that price in the Yellow Pages.
