Mike The Internet Guy’s Blog
As this year is coming to a close I thought I would recap what I thought were the best blog posts and articles on local search engine optimization in 2006. 2007, should be a big year for local SEO. The search engines and search engine optimizers are really ramping up to meet the demand of reliable local search tools. Enjoy the articles.
