I might be interested. What's your preferred way to get in touch?

Thanks for posting Linda

Awesome! You're the best Linda, thanks.

Hi guys, A friend of mine changed one of his office location's Google Places page (had not been merged over yet) information - specifically, the name of the business and website. Google let him make the changes and said it will be sending a verification card. As soon as he was finished, he...

There's just no replacement for what is lost here. You can narrow down the topic of a particular page to an expert degree but, in the end, you do not know why the visitor landed on that page. Is it because they entered a query that has something to do with your page? Or is Google in the middle...

Seconded. This is exactly what I mean by "where they come from".

It's pretty silly that we have to worry about things like this. I wouldn't be worried so much about how many but how they got there.

Very interesting Linda. Thanks for all the sources!

I think JacobPuhl hit the nail on the head with that one, but there's more to the question (and I'd like to hear everyone's take on it, too. I think it's an important question) and that is - which one converts better? ie, would you rather have a spot in the 7-pack or a spot on page 1 of...

Re: WARNING: Dual Claimed Ranking Penalty - Drop like a Rock or Suspension Problem is, sometimes clients don't know or don't remember what they've done in the past. Other clients don't want to give up their Google Account details (mostly when they use Gmail for business emails under the same...
