I would just like to tell my story.
About a month ago I was searching around online, and found something in the google locals listing that I thought was very interesting.
I run a business for offline businesses where I promote their site and help get it ranked on the first page or first position.
Anyways, I did some thinking and some keyword research and came up with this plan.
I then purchased a domain to test this with, through together a quick site in frontpage. Faked my refferer to a CPA offer. An made a listing on Google Locals.
I waited about three days before I did anything to it. Threw a couple of reviews on there and two days later it was a one box for the search term in that city.
Now one thing you have to remember, if you target a big area, people do not have to put their city in the search term to get the google locals to show up. They just have to use the keywords you are optimizing for.
So I have a one box with a website on the very top of Google. This is about 3 weeks ago. Then I totally forgot about it. Got really busy with my business helping customers.
Last night I logged into my CPA Account, because I am getting ready to start a JV with someone. Wanted to check everything out.
To my surprise there is $144.00 in there. So I did a little investigating, and it all came from that one site in google locals. A site that i put up in one night and probably spent a total of 1 hour working on.
So I got a little excited. Not about the money, but the fact that it is working so well. So I went to Google Insight and did a little more research. The city that I chose does not even get very many searches compared to others for what I was ranking for.
So last night I purchased 9 more domains for all of the cities that were high in Google Insight. I built the sites and put everything together, changed some stuff up, to where I will be gathering their emails now to send them more offers down the road.
I will update this thread, if it goes like it should.
Just wanted to share that with everyone.
Thanks
