I've used attributes for the last couple of months on my clients' listings and they do seem to help with longer tail phrases. But then again the competition is lower on those so I'm not sure if that's the reason my clients are ranking or if it's just they rise above their lower-cited competitors...? Mary, another great post — you need to write more often!!

]]> Comment on Why You Need a Local Business Profile by cptravers http://www.marybowling.com/local-search-optimization/local-business-profiles/#comment-38 cptravers Fri, 06 Jun 2008 11:58:57 +0000 http://www.marybowling.com/local-search-optimization/local-business-profiles/#comment-38 Thanks for favorably mentioning UniversalBusinessListing.org - we are getting a great response from the industry, particularly given that we are priced so low that it is a no-brainer for even a tiny business to pay for one - or a large agency to send us 10,000. You can have the exclusive news here that we are going to release within a few weeks our own public WebCard as part of the basic service at no extra charge. The important thing here is for industry adoption, standardization and universal distribution. This is why we also use microformatting on those WebCards as microsites. With Google ten-pack and Yahoo Search Monkey - this is even more critical today.

]]> Comment on Thin Slicing and The Zen of SEO by Aaron Dalrymple http://www.marybowling.com/on-page-optimization/zen-of-seo/#comment-20 Aaron Dalrymple Mon, 28 Apr 2008 15:13:47 +0000 http://www.marybowling.com/on-page-optimization/zen-of-seo/#comment-20 Mary - great thoughts on thin slicing! I've also noticed that sometimes there is a danger in over analyzing your "gut" reaction. I seem to recall that Gladwell discusses this too. Essentially, you can talk yourself out of your initial instinct if you analyze it too much. After you've proven that you can pull it off, going with your first reaction and running with it will get you ahead more often than staying back and questioning yourself.
