Seo Home blog

I used to go to night clubs loads when I was younger and was up for “maybe” going this weekend..

My GF did the ibiza thing and love to dance…

So.. Went  to look a club I went to a few time and really enjoyed called “The Cross” just outside Kings cross in central london..

After search for “the cross” and “the cross nightclub” the offical site wasn’t showing …

Finally I thought i’d add london.. “the cross nightclub london” which returned google local at the top with the address of the club “BUT” the url was a club the other side of town!

I then looked up the news on “the cross nightclub” to find that its been sold off for flats

So along came another super club pacha and took the local results for themselves along with some SEO target the natural results too.. 

Wonder how long it will last ?

So if you know a competitor is closing down and you want the traffic then why not blag top spot via local search..

Google maps

Nothing wrong with the odd camel..

A thread over on DP is discussing how someone’s client has had a competitor register on their map url..

The listing shows as unverified, but I imagine that could stay that way for months.

You might want to check your Google map business listing to make sure someone hasn’t done the same to you. 

No proof of this but I don’t see why this wouldn’t happen ?

Today i’ve come accross loads of serps with map for US companies just under the description.. a google + sign just like the one in webmaster tools expands when pressed to show the location of the company with the address and phone number to the right of the map when its expanded..

Here the screenshot!

Maps in the Palm in your hand..

Quote from the google blog..

Since we first launched Google Maps for mobile devices, we’ve adapted it to more phones and languages and added features like traffic info. And as of today, the new Palm Treo version answers our top request from users. It’s been months in the making, but I think you’ll find it worth the wait. We think this is the fastest, slickest version yet, with draggable maps and translucent pop-up balloons that don’t hide the map.

People still have been wondering about when ads well go live on mobile devices
