This is wonderful to read; however I was home today when our yellow pages were being delivered and the people delivering were putting one on the driveway of each home, and one into each rubbish bin out there as well.

I realize that you wou.ld have no way of knowing if this was going on or not, but maybe there is a way of producing enough to go around and not soooooo many extras. I watched as these people put these into every bin out and there were many as it is our collection day tomorrow.

This is sooo environmentally unfriendly. Does it worry you that this is happening? would really like an answer to that question!

i think that Bing is not as good as Google. Google would still index new websites faster than Bing. Microsoft would still need a lot of catching to do with GoogleBot.

Wow…talk about an effect ad that has stood the test of time!

After personally having worked long and hard in local sales for Donnelley in the early 90s, and with this particular advertiser, along with the assistance of an outside graphic art firm, this core inside-the-directory full page color ad under “Lawyers” was originally created. And, from what I’ve observed for almost 20 years is that this core ad has migrated to the outside back cover of several directories and Publishers with just a minor tweaks. Looking back now it just feels so gratifying to having been a part of an industry that has obviously delivered so much value to one of it’s faithful advertisers.
