The Importance of Local
September 3, 2008 by DazzlinDonna · 8 Comments
This post is less about local search, and more about local sites, but of course, they do go hand in hand. The last few days I was in the midst of Hurricane Gustav. I live 60 miles north of New Orleans. I chose to stay, mainly because it would have been too much of a hassle to pack up the 4 dogs, 1 cat, and 1 bird. We would have evacuated if it had been mandatory for our area or if Gustav hadn’t weakened as it got closer, but since it did and because it wasn’t mandatory for my area, we decided to stay. What does all that have to do with local sites? Hang in there and you’ll see.

Earlier this month, I posted about where local results come from, which referenced Bruce Clay’s Search Engine Relationships Chart – Local Edition. One of the search engines listed on that chart is TrueLocal.
Local SEO – The DD Method

Over at SEORefugee, a couple of threads have been focusing on optimizing for local traffic (i.e. Web Design San Diego). EarlPearl is definitely a local SEO guru, and I suggest everyone pay attention when he discusses the matter. I mentioned some tips that EarlPearl has since taken to calling the DD Method, so as a joke, I am officially claiming it as mine right here. *grin*
