Opinion: Internet Integration
Unlike the Valley Midweek Marketplace, the FM Extra does provide content online, in the form of a PDF version of their paper. While Google is somewhat able to index PDF content, individual articles and pieces of content are not directly linkable, removing any possibility of bringing in referential traffic from blogs or building a Pagerank.
