			<description><![CDATA[Great article, I found the reference guide to be very useful, and I highly recommend it for anyone getting started with local SEO. Getlisted.org is probably the first step anyone should take just to know if you're starting from scratch or are already listed in some sites. My colleague also wrote a series on Local SEO that will help anyone get a good start on their local efforts. http://cli.gs/LocalSEO2]]></description>

			<title>Good Question</title>

			<description><![CDATA[@Rachel That's a great question. Ath the recent SMX conference, at the Panel for "Up Close with Google Maps and Local" I beleive my notes indicate that Jennifer Chin of Google referenced several times to the "Centroid" of a city. The "centroid" is the central hub, the further the distance from it, the less relevance to that particular city is inferred. ... Now logically speaking, if you're devising a local based search engine, then devising a system to give less value as distance increases seems obvious. Now how clients might perceive your value when you're an "online business" is up in the air... I think it depends on your online business model and if any part of it is affected by locality...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In defining a location for a strictly online business, how important is proximity? Will customers be more likely to buy from you if they know you are based in a city near them? Will this kind of thinking likely change as ecommerce grows and develops, or will it remain basically the same?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey Jeremy, It was good to meet you at SMXW - hope to see you at another soon. This was a great show for me. Some of the best industry marketing yet. I'm glad our piece was well received. I might have also titled it "Search Engine Domination by Any Means Necessary". Cheers, Will]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["If a searcher is sophisticated enough to actually search with a geotargeted term, the local results are the first thing you see on the SERPS." There has been data that showed an increasing trend in longer search queries and also, that showed search query volume had over a 70% between Feb of 2007 to Feb of 2008. It certainly is an exciting time for local search marketers!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey Nathan, I definitely agree- There's so many opportunities when it comes to Brick and mortars, but you reminded me of mapping sites specifically. There's a neat little site called http://www.Schmap.me that will let you make a page with a citation, map, block of text and a URL...and then there's the who topic of Geo-tagging :-) @Ben Thanks for the praise! I'm really happy to compile all my thoughts in a helpful way. @Keith Thanks for sharing that list, I think if you combined that with the list I mentioned, you'd have a very comprehensive map. I got pretty intimidated at the outset, but just get on a roll, perhaps pick up Roboform.com to make the submission data flow easier, and Raven-seo-tools.com to keep track of the links you build. :silly:]]></description>
