Yahoo this week described itself to Forbes.com as “laser focused” on bringing local brand advertisers online. Meanwhile, Google’s director of mobile advertising, Diana Pouliot, told an audience at a CTIA-related event that a third of mobile Google searches are now related to the location of the searcher.
