		<description>Hi Lisa
I&#039;ve checked out and forwarded the links to David&#039;s work to a bunch of people. Great stuff! Thanks.

On a semi-related note, I&#039;d love to get your input and insights about LotusJump, the DIY Online Marketing service we just reviewed.

		<description>Thanks for the heads up! The more outbound links the site that&#039;s linking to you has, the more they could be considered a &quot;categorical hub&quot; on the web. And the better off you are for getting noticed on their site for its high rank and popularity in the local search.

		<description>Thanks for the heads up! The most important factor in getting quality web traffic is to optimize your web pages for the correct keyword phrase. Getting the most sales is often a balance between search volume for key words and level of competition. Use the Overture keyword tool and Google Adwords tool to research and identify your best keyword phrases. Look for keyword phrases that have high search volume, but low competition. It also pays to see what key words your successful competitors are optimising for.

		<description>Martin,

The two best European Local SEOs that I know of both participated in this study - Martijn Beijk (http://www.martijnbeijk.com) and Aleyda Solis (http://www.aleydasolis.com).  Martijn in particular is quite familiar with Google&#039;s main data sources across a variety of countries.</description>
