Optimizing for Google Local 10 Pack
I've read that citations are one of the best thing you can do to get ranked up in the 10 Pack.
As such, people say that you should make sure the business is in all the local online business directories.
However, there are only so many local directories you can be on. Aside from local directories, I see Google counting very crappy webpages as "citations".

(not a technical link, you get the idea, nothing harmful)
Wouldn't it make some sense making your own crappy "local" webpages (writing ezinearticles, hubpages, squidoo, .info domain webpages) rather than spending hours contacting webmasters for possible inclusion in their webpage?
