Local Search Address Spoof, tips tricks, and methods...

Very creative methods.. thanks for your time to go into this much detail. I'm actually going to give this a try for a client.

So after we spoof the address, do you first sign up for free catalogs and other mail items? How soon after do you send the postcard?

You can also post on Craigslist asking if someone lives near the city center and wants to make some money.

You send the postcard to their address and every time they receive one they scan it for you and send it to your email address.
It's just the PIN you want. Just agree on a set amount per postcard and done. When you send 100's of them then it adds up pretty fast, so the right person will do it since it's easy money!

CleverChris,

Thank you so much for your write up.

if I can let you know, i have been away from Google Places for more than 2 years after getting all my sites booted off the first page of Serps. You can see my previous posts maybe a year 2 years ago of my frustration, but man, thank you for sharing your findings. This is very awesome, and it's not something Google can take away with a simple algorithm as they have done me.

I do not have 15 posts so I was unable to send you a PM. If you can PM me your skype or something, it'd be great to chat. I won't be a leecch and just suck info out from you. I would like your opinion on something as I have a very funny UPS store address that I'm unsure how I can use to my favor.

Thanks nonetheless. My curiosity has been rekindled!

OP, you are a fucking ninja. You should make a movie out of this. "SuperGoogleMe" or something

Well done! Absolutely AWESOME info you shared here. :beer:

Awesome tips!

Quick question. How do you optimize a single website with multiple addresses? Or do you just have a locations section on the website with all the multiple locations listed? Is this good enough?

Need a new page for each.
Sub.domains.com work - newcity.domain.com
Pages don't work at all - domain.com/newcity - Google Places just cuts off the page
I am also a big fan of EMD exact match domains - so I always have an independent site for each city
newcitykeyword.com phoenix-plumbing.com I have had good results finding and using one hyphen domain names .com or .net are fine
(Don't believe the BS Google says about EMD not having any influence on search results - they lie about everything that actually works)

brainfucked! I am doing few local thingy here and you gave me bunch of ideas and methods to work around. This will make me busy for few months or so!
