The Yahoo Search blog just announced a new Yahoo Local advertising solution named Local Featured Listings. This advertising solution enables advertisers to place their ads at the top of a local listing for different business categories. The business categories seem to be based on your location and keyword. The rate chart shows you can spend $15 to $300 depending on your location and keyword phrase, Manhattan and florist being the most expensive category, since Manhattan is very populated and florist is a popular keyword phrase. A lot more information at https://listings.local.yahoo.com/prlfl.php, I may have more later on this.
