Uh no. Google and Facebook are getting into the local act. Local advertising on the web is big!

CraigsList is actually great for finding apartments to lease. Definitely avoid anything without a phone number, when looking for available apartments for lease or rent. Canadian Payday Loan

Good article Nick. We are finding this out for ourselves as we focus on our first local titles.

Local businesses don't have deep pockets. But if provided with a platform and different packages, local ad spend will move more online.

There's an interesting parallel here with the dilution of local registers of businesses – Yellow Pages and Thomson used to do ti for us all in the paper age but now searches throw up lots of local sites claiming to be a business register with weak, incomplete information. Users have not yet been 'guided' to the best place to find stuff by a dominant player.
Maybe this is a market waiting to be exploited.
But also remember that local consumers are not yet using online to search for locally available products / services.
Conundrum.

All very true. I use both Yelp and Craigslist for locale finds.

I think you can find some great stuff almost every week about Craigslist online.
