Google Local Listings Ads
Last December Google announced the suspension of their Local Listings Ads trial in the San Francisco and San Diego markets according to Search Engine Land
It's official now. Sometime in the last 10 days the following two links that explained Local Listing Ads have been deleted by Google, not a best practice in my mind.

I was very excited about this new service and started recommending it to my small business owner friends and anyone else who wanted a low, flat-cost alternative. If there is something in the works at the GooglePlex I sure would like to know.Does anyone out there know where they're going to take the lessons from this trial and apply it?
