Yahoo is giving away Web page hosting services to small businesses in a bid to bolster its search and related advertising business.

The Internet company on Wednesday introduced a new service that lets any small business sign up for a free Web page to appear in Yahoo's local directory. The move will help otherwise unwired small businesses come online, said Paul Levine, Yahoo's general manager of local services, as well as help consumers find more local information.

Windows Installer 3.1 now disables this functionality unless you specifically enable the functionality by setting the OptimizedInstallMode property in the MsiPatchMetaData table.

Very smart move on their part. Many small businesses around my area would never buy something like this, but, if they are enticed for free and business increases, then they are much much more likely to want more and would be willing to pay for it

Yahoo? No thank you. I wouldn't touch a offer from Yahoo with a ten foot clown pole.
