As blogging continues to take off and transpire into an incredible platform for reaching customers, Yellow Pages are slowly declining.  I had a funny conversation with my mother while she was here two weeks ago for my wedding.  She needed to find a store specializing in bridal items and asked me, "Where do you keep your yellow pages?"  I responded with, "On the computer.  It is called Google."  Of course, she just patted my face and said, "Okay smart alic, I get it." 

Then I started thinking about the last time I opened up a Yellow Pages book?  I could not remember when that was.  Furthermore, I continued to think harder about the last time I looked at YellowPages.com for anything.  That did not ring a bell either. 

The point is that almost no one uses these tools anymore.  When people need results and need them now, they go to Google.  Google is one of the best seo tools out there.  An article by Christopher Hosford goes in depth on money lost by using this tool.  It goes even further in depth to explain how blogging is a good strategy to gain search engine optimization ranking.  To read his article click here.
