Google Getting Cranky About Local Business Listings

November 14, 2009

Well, it was bound to happen. Google noticed how many spammy, manipulative business entries were being made in their database for the Local Business Center.  Their “Business Listing Quality Guidelines” are posted for all to see and abide by. Ignore at your own peril! You never know how long it will take for them to enforce these guidelines or how rigorously they will but rest assured if Google thinks the results are being degraded for their users, they won’t hesitate to bounce businesses out of the listings or blacklist you. Check out the guidelines and make sure you play nice!

    This post has really something to do with my search. I have been looking for many information on internet marketing, and I am very thankful that I found this. Thanks for sharing this information.

    I am sharing this to my friends, and also I added your feed to my reader for updates of new posts.

    Is there anyone who could share also their knowledge with me on this relevant topic? I am open for more ideas.
