Seogis are experts in this field.mapmediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05688707940220700391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13119763.post-15382491491423610732008-04-14T16:28:00.000-04:002008-04-14T16:28:00.000-04:00Yes, and certainly these "seo experts" weren't at all. However, be careful. Yahoo's wordtracker, along with Nichebot, etc. etc. can be inaccurate.<BR/><BR/>But, yes, you are right.Jeffreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08751178129642467426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13119763.post-59368590245148901922007-11-25T12:27:00.000-05:002007-11-25T12:27:00.000-05:00Now that's innovative! Although that specific idea might not be totally practical - it is an outstanding concept to work on. I like the creative way you think.

Your company eats the cost, but of course, you hope that it generates a lot of new clients who think they'll be the "highest" user. And, you'll then forever be able to claim in advertising, "Crest Capital has placed backhoes on Mount Kilimanjaro -- we can help you wherever you are.")<BR/><BR/>Man, I should get paid for these ideas.Gregory Kohshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17207068772106028805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13119763.post-33505627432730583992007-11-24T17:08:00.000-05:002007-11-24T17:08:00.000-05:00Excellent information on the "geo" topic. I'm in a business that operates nationwide (less than 20% of our business is in our home state). Do you have any suggestions for a business like ours?crestcaphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13642173106876033463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13119763.post-86506249911570470542007-07-13T18:05:00.000-04:002007-07-13T18:05:00.000-04:00Yeah, there is no way I would search for a barber shop without typing in the zip or city name. That's stupid. SEO is one of my main jobs (though I won't say I'm an expert), and geographical targeting can at least help you get the niche searches, even if you are trying to appeal on a national level.Erikhttp://www.globaltestmarket.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13119763.post-78932979093562209212007-07-10T00:23:00.000-04:002007-07-10T00:23:00.000-04:00Great post! it really give me an idea on how to advice my clients to optimize their sites to be more search engine friendly... especially those who are using their websites to promote their physical brick-and-mortar services or products!Elitehttp://www.elitemarketresearch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13119763.post-26583856694959278382007-06-01T23:30:00.000-04:002007-06-01T23:30:00.000-04:00Very, very cool.
