  • Get Back To Where Your Listings Once Belonged

    This is a story about how much can be lost by mis-categorizing your business.

  • Google Mobile Search Delivers App Downloads

    For some time Google PC search has indexed links to iTunes enabling users to click through and directly review or download mobile apps. Now Google is doing something similar in mobile search by putting links to mobile apps and related information at the top of results.
    Clicking the associated link (see below) takes users directly to […]
