The Yellow Pages dilemma!
It is reported that, due to online usage, over 54% of people throw their, bulky, non-environmentally friendly, "Yellow Pages" away!

Even in their heyday Yellow Pages ads were static and unchangeable, results were virtually untrackable and worst of all incredibly expensive! Read on to find out why AdzZoo is different.
In one of his articles, Chris "Silver" Smith, director of optimization strategies for "Key Relevance", stated that, "Despite this (decline in consumer usage)… advertising in (Yellow Pages) books continues to be expensive! For some businesses, yellow pages advertising was their primary and only instrument for getting business…". The Wall Street Journal said, "The yellow-pages industry is running out of lifelines." Local Business desperately needs a different answer! Thank God the AdzZoo solution is finally here!
The Newspapers Are Dying!
All you need to do is go online and look at the news and you will see that print media is no longer able to compete with the internet. Newspapers are going out of business faster than we can keep track of them! The Rocky Mountain News, the Baltimore Examiner, the Kentucky Post, the San Juan Star, and the Cincinnati Post have all gone out of business! The analysts at "24/7 Wall St." and "Time" say that the San Francisco Chronicle, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the Miami Herald, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the Boston Globe, the New York Daily News, the Detroit News, the Philadelphia Daily News and the Chicago Sun-Times are on their way out as well.
Magazines reported as folding or in big trouble include, US News and World Report, Radar Magazine, The Christian Science Monitor,Cosmo Girl, Elle Girl and the list goes on and on! Even if some newspapers do survive, the ads are static as opposed to being dynamic, results are virtually untrackable, and worst of all very expensive!
