Haven't been on Twitter or checked the feed reader all day since we're... ummmm... busy here.
FTR, I'm only a 'local search expert' from making a bunch of mistakes, suffering through MANY of G's algo hiccups and living to tell about it, and getting out there to 'talk' with other folks who follow local search.
These guys really appreciate my articles and weather reports about Local Seach spam and how it impacts local florists. Like me, they believe florists are the canaries in the G Maps coalmine.
Really, the Local guys are the nicest bunch of SEOs and SEMs around.
Added: Thanks for the post, Ryan. Don't know how I missed the initial list last fall - and congratulations for getting the well-deserved recognition for your knowledge & work in local search marketing.
And thanks for letting me use the Real Florist Blog to get eyeballs and (often times) help on florist spam issues.
Kudos Cathy, that's awesome!!
Saw Ryan on there a few months back, now the 2 of you... good good stuff you guys! Local Search is where all our heads should be. Keep it up!
