It is the point that there are plenty of players in this relatively immature market and as a result of it being "hard", many will fall in the coming years, leaving one or two key players-standing successful? Regarding the economy, in fact helps me to see something fresh in the works that the property value is clearer about the measurement and return on investment (or not). Small businesses are looking to spend their money smarter instead of not spending all that plays into the hands of players online. Of course, everyone prefer to be on an upswing.

The next year will be very interesting in this space. You’ve hit the nail on the head here in terms of challenges to the industry delivering results that make sense to the local business owner (i.e. help him or her leverage the Internet to generate new/additional opportunities). Clearly one of the biggest challenges when targeting a large number of relatively low-spend local business marketers is the ability to cost-effectively scale a solution to tens of thousands of customers and deliver ROI that clearly shows the value of their online advertising. At WebVisible, we’re very cognizant of this and have concentrated on building out our technology platform, first and foremost. With more than seven years of development, we’ve got a highly scalable platform that enables us to do more with less… delivering quality results and campaign reporting that keep our local business customers coming back, and a low-risk and profitable business opportunity for reseller partners to grow top-line revenue with predictable net income.

Is the point that there are a lot of players in this relatively immature market and as a result of it being "hard", many will fall out in the coming years leaving one or two key players standing/successful? Regarding the economy, I actually see it somewhat helping the pure plays in that the value prop is more about measurement and clear ROI (or not). Small businesses are looking to spend their dollar smarter as opposed to not spending it at all and that plays into the hands of the online players. Of course, everyone would rather be in an uptick... Hi Dennis, i’d be interested to understand a little more of what you mean when you say “bubble”.
