Quite some time ago...I found out that some sites, like Yahoo Search, Google and Craig's List just pull the names often keyed in sites. IF THEY APPEAR IN THE LIGHT BLUE portions of the Yahoo Search or at the top of the list on Google in a highlighted area, those ads were paid for. If not, it was an unsolisited (sp?) listing. The consultant usually did not do it.
