Local Search Focus

Time again for a roundup of the best search/marketing posts of the past month … this time we’re covering November, which was a pretty light month by my standards. There’s usually about 20-30 links in these roundups, but less than 20 in this one. If you’re new to SBS, this is a monthly feature. You can find earlier “Best Of”s for each month in the archives. Only rule is that my own posts are not eligible. Local Search Miriam Ellis/SEO Igloo: SMBs Say Yuck To Yelp’s Telemarketers SEO Aaron W

He went on to say that “we ar

Hope everyone had a great holiday. I did but now it is time to do some work. LOL. I had a great time at ILM 08 and definitely would recommend the conference to those who want to understand more about local search. I thought all the discussion/talks were great.

This area definitely is growing and should be something all small business consid
