No website for majority of small businesses

This is from a new Nielsen-WebVisible survey.  Other findings:

*92% of searchers satified but 39% frequently can’t find the company they are looking for (maybe that’s because of the 56% of small businesses are without websites).

*However, 23% are advertising less in the Yellow pages than they did two years ago.

*41% percent have lowered their spending on local newspaper ads.

So something is changing.
