A really good session covering some tips and tricks related to local search. I picked up on some things I’d not known before, and it sounds like I should get kicking on some hcard and address tagging of some clients. After Chris Sherman did introductions, these are the folks who did presentations. The presentations went fast, but I did my best :-)

Well, I’m not much of a liveblogger, but since I want to take notes anyhow, I might as well type into wordpress and share the goodness. I am sure I’ll get better at this and hope that everyone gets benefits from the notes. I’ll do cleanup on them after the show is over, too, as well as link to anything that makes sense.

SMX Local Mobile Photos on Flickr

Well, getting ready to head out tommorrow for SMX Local/Mobile conference in Denver, and looking forward to seeing friends in the search marketing world again I’ve not seen since SMX Advanced in Seattle.

I’m very excited about the Local/Mobile marketplace, especially with my developing expertise in working with franchises in internet marketing, and hope to shore that up even more in 2008 with some specific offerings under the PrecisionLocal brand. This is a tough, tough marketplace for consulting as the resources for local search are still quite fragmented and difficult to understand for clients.
