I know this post probably isn’t serious, but you make an interesting topic about the citations on local search. Time and again you see that the ones ranking on the top are close in proximity to the city/town and have a boatload of citations. How you go about getting those citations though…

I wonder if anyone actually drove to the city center to claim their listing? Dick’s burgars would be the busiest place ever…Nice april fools joke. To bad I’m reading about it 6 months after the fact

Citation huh. Sounds a lot different from what I thought it was, I guess you learn something new every day.

Joel, I find it unfortunate that people steal my stuff and repost it without giving me credit…however, I realize that’s the way of the web and I don’t lose sleep about it.

Though your comment wasn’t remotely humorous, I will take it in good humor even if it wasn’t intended :.)

Joel, as the site admin, I approved this comment only to tell you that you should back up your claim with a link. Ylou can’t just throw around baseless accusations – AND I’ll also tell you that your claim is completely false.

If you really believe that Todd copy / pasted this tip, then you’re sadly misguided. I do know that OTHERS stole it from him and posted though, as a quoted snippet search would show you, with dates and all.

Finally, I’d point out that Todd’s “tip” was an April Fools post, and SEMpdx wouldn’t seriously be recommending this sort of black hat stuff…

I find it unfortunate that the tip you shared on #3 was blatantly stolen from someone else without you giving credit. I have read this exact account elsewhere and you copy and pasted it and left no mention of who you stole this from. Pretty sad that you flop around with other people's information as your own and steal the traffic. The blackhat strategies are cool but your respectability is pathetic to me if you continue to steal content. Joels last blog post..“Retweet is stupid” - Think again fellow social media citizens

Many people think it’s funny and interesting that you can take over these local listings so easily. That’s because you’re inexperienced, and have never seen what happens to a local business when this actually happens.

The local listings are far more important than most SEOs realize. Most people are dramatically naive about the power of them.

I only mention this to caution those wanting to permanently damage businesses that have come to rely on a good local listing.

Some businesses are already talking lawsuits because of these tactics.

Be warned, be smart, and please… be nice.
