Do you also advertise to local businesses?

[Dave M]

One of my sites is basically a review site and directory of local restaurants, shopping centers, and etc., targeted of course at shoppers, travelers, tourists and the like. Because of the subject and target audience, I've started approaching some local business about advertising their business on my site or putting up a product review — anything that the average shopper would be looking for. I've had a few bites already and I have high hopes that it would grow with time. It makes for a nice side income. ;)

What about you, do you advertise to local businesses for your online ventures?
