  1. Yelp would be wasting money buy paying google for a result they already have achieved. Google is much more of a competitor of yahoo’s than yelp. Results 4 and 5 are angieslist.com and insiderpages.com. Considering their comparatively lower usage levels, the cost of this search phrase PPC would not make financial sense. Also, they already do have good organic results.
  2. Yelp would be wasting money buy paying google for a result they already have achieved. Because they are #1 in traffic to the site without paying at this time there is no reason to start. Why get into the PPC investing when no one else is doing it? If, however, someone does pay and are show ahead of Yelp.com then the question would need to be considered more seriously. If a site did invest in PPC I would recommend not immediately doing it as well. Due to the popularity of the site I would monitor the changes in the competitors site traffic and see if there is any reason to change strategy and add PPC.
  3. C. Incredibly in-depth site navigation. Best of Yelp, Hot on Yelp, Sales and Offers Near You, among others.
  4. C. By listing client advertisements to both members and non-members you are increasing the impressions the ad will reach. Limiting the number of people that see an add reduces the potential advertising revenue for the site.
