    Looking for Location Specific Backlinks or Services

    I run a city guide type of site. We currently are in two cities but can build up to 20 in the next few months. Per city we push about 20 pieces of unique content per day with good on page SEO. We currently have about 2000 indexed pages but this will increased dramatically to 5,000+ pages of 100%...

    [Journal] 10,000 LOCAL Uniques/Day from search

    We just got our term sheet from our angel investors :) and we'll close that round in a few days. The 16 blogs we're running are all on one Linode server. Is there proof that Google cares that much about running all on the same server? It's not like we're running 200 blogs on it... it's just 16...

    [Journal] 10,000 LOCAL Uniques/Day from search

If you search specifically for "Things to Do [city name]", you'll get a similar...

    How does "local" SEO work?

    I guess I was more wondering how it works with websites competing for that space. Like, how would I target my pages to specific cities. Would I just modify all my titles to focus strictly on a city rather than just writing "things to do"

    How does "local" SEO work?

    I'm running a "fun discovery" startup and starting to figure out how to win out on some smaller SEO terms. In the good ol' days it seemed simpler just to get backlinks, build good web pages and you'll rank. With Google bringing in your location (aka city/zip code).. the search for "things to...

    Please Advise! Traffic Gen Ideas

    I'm a noobie startup guy. I know this is kind of outside the BlackHat world but I was hoping to get some advice on generating legitimate traffic for a legitimate web startup. I'm building a city guide and trying to drive initial traffic. This is a service similar to TimeOut magazine except...
