So if there is some error it cannot be changed and so it can send wrong message about company. Similarly in paper directory information once given can be changed only by publishing its new edition. Advertisements in radio are also for very short period of time.Also information given is very less. In television, advertisements need to be paid.Amount paid depends upon time the advertisement is shown. Television viewers usually skip advertisements as they are more interested in programmers rather than viewing advertisements. So they usually change channels of television during advertisements.

For e.g. if you are looking for pastry, you just have to click on title given as "food". Then the data regarding food will be displayed. You can choose from there "pastry".Then information regarding different restaurants or food stores will be displayed from where you can choose from which shop you need to buy pastry. So, web directories are considered as excellent marketing strategy as a lot of users searching for information on a particular topic will click on business directories. In this way a business can improve its web presence which enable it to get attention.
