Is Yellow Pages still good value?
Yellow Pages Local Advertising – Is it worth it?
Just received, this morning, new edition of our local Yellow Pages covering the Edinburgh postcode area which includes Central Borders and Livingston areas.
If you have received your own you will have noticed that it is advertised on the front cover as New look, New content, New handy size.
It is indeed a new size and if handy means smaller, it is about a third smaller in page size, then yes ‘new handy size’.
Not sure about the new look as it looks very much like the old one although a new Local pages section has been added at the beginning but that looks about it!
As far as new content is concerned, checking a randomly opened Floor Cleaning & Treatment category there were 4 display ads in old directory but only 3 in the new one (25% less).

Google and Bing come clean on Social Media (SM)
It has long been thought that with the addition of social media features and search options from both Google and Bing that social activity, Tweets and FB posts and commenting were being used, to some extent, in both of their search algoriths. But, until now that was all it was.
However, from a series of questions asked by Danny Sullivan of SEL (Search Engine Land), both have come clean and admitted they are using them in different ways to varying degrees.
