I know we tried a decent sized yellow pages campaign for a year, We advertised in one small city, one large city and one medium city. Not a single call all year, and sold in the mid $xx,xxx range through search engine optimization. I think the Yellow Page advertising based on the area and many other factors.

It's been 3 or 4 years since I advertised, and I'm definitely not paying them...

That makes sense. I guess it depends on where you are. It could also have to do with the format of the ad you place as well. In my case, it was a small ad that made me look more like a feelance designer. That's my experience. If I had put the $120 / month (for the print and online ad) into search engine marketing, I'm fairly confident that I would have received better referrals. Thanks Joe. That makes sense.

Especially in small towns Everyone goes to the yellow pages to find something, and if they aren't familiar with the Internet (which is a very good case if they are going externally for a web designer with all the options today) they're going to look the way they feel best. I ran a web design company for 10 years and yellow pages was very beneficial to me. so it depends on the location. Yellow pages part is incorrect.
