Re: Robert and his locksmith encounters – A Google Local spam story

It is unfortunate with how hard it is to get in organic results that it is so simple to get into local search with basic tricks. Try to play by google's rules with link building etc and maybe 10 years later you might actually place well. We have a fantastic marketing company and brilliant website but because we have not paid for link exchanges or spammed the review section of local search, we don't rank as well as we should. I remember hearing the same comments 5 years ago, it will get better... Has it really? Never could figure out why replying to blog articles makes your website rank better. Sure I get it but does it make any sense? It still is not natural placement. No different than maps.

Re: Three Twitter business directories

Twtbiz seems to be a waste of time, they can not find our twitter company name and we are listed on twibs and tweelow so they have a problem somewhere. Tweelow is by far the best of the three and has provided some leads. I am sure as things progress we will see a lot of new twitter directories especially with google's caffeine project that will be indexing twitter info.

Re: What's So Scary About Marketing Strategy?

I am always amazed how my clients kick and scream when I tell them they need to develop a well defined marketing strategy rather that taking random marketing shots hoping something will hit the target. But there usually comes a point when they will ask me why their competitors are doing so well and I get to reply back; "Because they have a well defined marketing strategy" That is usually when it starts to sink in.
