Website and YP Marketing

After realizing that my monthly yellow pages advertising cost was the same as my yearly advertising expenses for internet marketing, and that my website was bringing in many more, and much better leads, I have decided to focus more attention and money on promoting my website.

My website has recently been improved, and search engine optimization has been done by
www.greenvoodoo.com .Here is the new, improved website: www.botanicawisconsin.com . I welcome comments and criticism, and discussion of how best to reach our markets without giving all of our hard-earned money to ATT, Yellow Book, etc. As I was composing this post, the YP rep stopped by with a "new ad" -basically, my old ad, only bigger. Cost for this in one book $650/month for a half page ad, plus $29-$229 a month for a featured, or sponsored listing on the internet YP, plus $109 a month for sponsored links, guaranteeing (ha!) first page for all the search terms in my site for my area on yahoo and google. Where and when does this end? What do you do?
