If you are not in by now, you better be. Connection, participation, and engagement in dialog will drive new business through word of mouth as well as search engine results. I could't agree more.

You're exactly right about the value of word of mouth. "Getting our message out" is so archaic. Thank you Richard.

The very first article I wrote about the Internet (April, 1996), I bemoaned the focus on the "world wide" aspects of WWW and suggested that the real power of the web was LOCAL. While it's probably not an "either/or" scenario, the "local" aspects can be profound.  Thank you for the reminder to update my own Google Local information!

I do LOCAL seo, right now Google's local busines listings are putting the bulk of the cash in my local brick n mortar seo clientele's cash registers. You want Google to like you? do whatever it takes to get your EXISTING customers to say something nice about you on: Yelp.com Insiderpages.com Judysbook and get em to leave a review on Googlemaps. It's no longer enough to get a client's website to rank in the organic serps, you gotta be on BOTH if you want to close sales. <a href="http://www.frederickwebpromotions.com/2009/12/27/google-personalized-search-changing-traditional-seo-practices/" rel="nofollow">Google's Personalized Search is a Game Changer</a> Don’t take my word for this… see for yourself here: <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/03/22/why-advertising-is-failing-on-the-internet/" rel="nofollow">Why Advertising Fails</a>. <strong>Consumers do not trust advertising</strong><strong></strong><strong>Consumers do not want to view advertising</strong><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong>consumers do not need advertising</strong> Google personalized search is already taking in account what you just said: what OTHERS are saying about you is more important than what you say about you.

I do LOCAL seo, right now Google’s local busines listings are putting the bulk of the cash in my local brick n mortar seo clientele’s cash registers.

You want Google to like you? do whatever it takes to get your EXISTING customers to say something nice about you on:
Yelp.com
Insiderpages.com
Judysbook

and get em to leave a review on Googlemaps.

It’s no longer enough to get a client’s website to rank in the organic serps, you gotta be on BOTH if you want to close sales.

Google’s Personalized Search is a Game Changer

Don’t take my word for this… see for yourself here:
