It's interesting that the advertiser cited pays $2 for every call generated via her ad on InsiderPages.com, an idealab supported Internet Yellow Pages.
What the article missed was that $2 per call isn't a bargain if not enough people call. that's the issue faced by many online directories. Getting enough users to justify selling advertising is a real balancing act.
Heck, even if she only gets a couple of calls per month. It's a bargain for her. She will need to find multiple channels of developing her client base as well.
