Yellow Pages Search Statistics:
These yellow pages heading were the most popular searches
made by consumers in 2005. These statistics were based on both print yellow
pages and online yellow pages. The listings are listed first by rank, second
by heading description then the amount of searches made by consumers.
The estimates of usage by heading represent the number of times individuals (for consumer or business purposes) look up a particular heading annually. It is important to note that these references do not include the particular product or service the individual is seeking.
For example, many references to the "Automobile Dealers – New Cars" heading are for other dealer products, such as recent-model used cars, auto parts or repair services. While there may be individual headings for these products or services, a segment of consumers refers to the "NewCars" heading for all dealer services.
