Great post, thanks for the overview. This is good stuff. One thing strikes me as odd, though: Do local advertisers really need more data to calculate ROI?

This is just a gut feeling, but it seems like too much analysis in such comparably small numbers would create a fair bit of overhead, and consume time and money that should be spend in producing the ads or, well, doing business.

I hate to do acquisition and help (keyword: ecosystem) is very urgently needed.
