Hyper-Local Also Can Mean Hyper-Small

A new study by Borrell Associates suggests that "visitor" traffic to hyper-local mobile sites could be over-reported by a factor of four-to-one, if one assumes that the purpose of such hyper-local advertising is to reach people actually in a local area.

The big attraction to “local” comes from the fact that local websites hold more value because their site visitors make the vast majority household purchases within a few miles of their homes. The new study suggests the unique visitor-to-actual-people ratio is nearly 4 to 1. Audiences are being overstated, and some of those visitors aren’t even local.
