Atricle Dump - SEO and Google Local
America may be the Land of Opportunity, but this is also the land of the Big Trade-Off. Sure, you can have that nice house, but you’re going to have to become a mortgage slave to keep it. You can drive that fancy sports car, but you’ll have to fork over an insurance premium as hefty as the GNP of some Third World nations. In the Bible it says, in life, if you want honey, you get bees with stingers. For anything worth having, there’s price to pay.It’s the same with a ca

Q: I recently received an email that supposedly came from eBay that said someone had attempted to log into my eBay business account without authorization (whatever that means). The email instructed me to click a link to re-enter and confirm my account information to make sure that my account had not been hacked. Being naturally paranoid I contacted eBay directly and found that my account had not been hacked and that this email was actually from someone trying to steal my eBay account information. Is the
Regardless, appearing in at least the first page of the listings could have significant benefits. So I started investigating how Google ranks these listings - and found very little. Most responses are to the fact of "Google doesn't say, nor should they. You shouldn't be able to alter your relevancy." Ok - not helpful. I did find some information on what Google takes into consideration based on a patent they filed
What Google looks for?
Your address and keywords listed on your site
Your address and keywords listed on other sites
Your address and keywords listed in local directories
Reviews of your business
Domain Name
You Address on your own site
Most of the time Google index's your site in Google local by spidering your site and picking up the address. There for it is very important that you make your address clear on every page. Even using a vCard might be helpful, as that standard grows chances are Google will pick up on it. It is even better if you can include your address in the title of a page. Not necessarily the front page, but the about/locations/contact pages as well.
Other Pages
Google also spiders and stores content based on information found on external web sites. If a site mentions your company, along with the same address there is a good chance Google will pick up on this and it will add to the relevance of that location to your local listing. Obviously sites that are not relevant to your keyword are unlikely to provide much help.
Clicking on a local link, you will see a "web pages" tab which list sites that have your address in their content. While optimizing address listings, it is also highly recommended to get some inbound links that have your address/phone number as part of the anchor text. This follows for keywords as well, but all seo campaigns should already incorporate this.

Bill O’Reilly, host of Fox News Channel’s The O’Reilly Report, was quoted in Talkers Magazine about how he cracked the bestseller list.“In the beginning, we couldn’t get on Good Morning America, or the Today Show or any of that. Elite newspapers wouldn’t review the book. We had to rely on talk radio,” O’Reily said. “Talk radio has shown a much better return (than our advertising dollars).”There’s no doubt that talk radio is a great vehicle for authors, because it allows them to give in-dep

The cost of doing business continuously increases as gasoline prices soar. Many service companies (e.g. plumbing, air conditioning and chimney contractors) have realized this as gasoline expenses have reached the ceiling. In an effort to offset this cost many companies are cutting budgets in other key areas like marketing and advertising. Many companies are realizing as they cut budgets for advertising they are seeing a decrease in profits which requires further budget cuts. This can have a snowball eff

Is tackling talent management one of your goals this year? Employees are becoming more demanding, and topping their list is professional growth and development. These are the employees you should be striving to keep. They want new challenges, interesting work, and the opportunity to develop new skills. Even if you don’t have the resources to implement a full-scale career development program, you can still provide your employees with the tools and support to manage their own careers.Provide a

Local Directories
If you look at a local listing, it displays several local directories in the web pages tab as well. Some of the more common ones are super yellow, yellowpages.com, yahoo's local listing, etc. Scanning your competition should give you a few good ideas on where you can get your address/phone listed.
Even if getting listed on more pages doesn't bump you up, at least your company now has greater visibility on relevant pages.
Google also lists feedback, reviews, from pages so you might want to start asking customers if they are satisfied to post a review at yahoo local (which Google spiders). Again, even if it doesn't boost your rankings you still have more public PR and it will be listed under your site.
Distance
Apparently, according to a Google patent, one of the things they consider is the distance from the centerpoint of the city. While this is nothing you can change, it does help flesh out what you may be up against or at least why a site is ranking where it is.
The Domain Name
There is some mention in the Google local patent that alludes to if the domain registry information matches the business location it can add some weight. If you have control of your domain name, it is quick and easy so you might as well.
Localize
The state of local search is pretty undeveloped and unexplored, so it is no doubt a shaky ground. All techniques here should boost your local ranking, but worse case it will drive traffic to your site or aid in your organic listings.
