So while Google does send more bulk, you still need to pay attention to other sources of traffic to increase your ROI (if in cpc campaigns). Traffic to my company's site coming from MSN and Yahoo organic search is miniscule compared to google, however the quality of traffic has shown to be better than that of Google's. It is necessary to find a balance of investment from various sources of traffic.

The Yellow Pages website here in SA bring very few visitors compared to Google and a few other bigger local directories. What I compared was the number of leads relative to each other and on average the cost per lead with our target audience B2B SME was 6 times less with on line marketing. Not to say that the Yellow Pages is useless as there are certain industries were the target audience are not web users.

They key thing is to retain the confidence of advertisers. If their perception is that "Yellow Pages is dying" they'll leap ship and move somewhere their advertising will reach their market. After all didn't we have that same perception before your post? The fact that people still use Yellow Pages doesn’t mean it isn’t dying though.
