    Thanks for the kind words Justin. I got this graph from Gib Olander of Localeze. I thought it was kind of funny that Other is kicking local search butt. Shows just how fragmented this market is and how big the opportunity is.

    Hey Andrew,
    I totally agree. I was also kind of surprised with Yahoo & Google. I find it hard to believe that Yahoo handles more local searches than Google.

    Justin, I noticed I get a lot of traffic on my site related to the local business directory that I posted for my small town. I don’t think I’ll be putting any of these other sites out of business any time soon, but because I have more information about just that area, I come up top when people search for local businesses. MyMcClellanville.net…”Other” and proud of it :-)

    Numbers do not break down the way I imagined that they might. I would assume Google would have the largest share just like the general searches. To see their numbers that low and others higher is suprising. I wonder if respondents google searched and then went to superpages or another site.
