Thanks Brotha, you rock!

Hey Shan,

I noticed that none of the keywords that you listed are in the categories section of your listing, except for Vieo Production.

Also, it seems as though you chose about 23 Categories. Google recommends choosing about 5. Knowing Google, they may be penalizing the listing for excessive category listings.

It may also be that the categories that you listed are on the unspoken "blacklist" that seems to have gone into effect.

Quite a few Maps listing got booted.

Try to reduce the Categories and see what happens.

It's going pretty good for me! I need to find more people to outsource too though Hope to hear from you soon!

Hey Shan,

Recently, Google made some changes that appear to have affected many categories.

I've had success with some clients in the food industry, but only partial success with a fellow Warrior that was trying to appear for "web design" and "tax deed".

I'll see what I can do and then send you an email later on.

How is the offline consulting going. I'm still in part-time mode, but hope to ramp it up soon. I have a few sites that are starting to earn money too. This forum is great and there is a lot of great info.

Maybe we can collaborate in the future. I'll be in touch soon about your site.

hey there! thanks for reaching out to me. i am actually south of atlanta in the 'burbs'. the keywords that i was going after were web advertising, video production, event promotion, etc. the listing is nor showing up anywhere on the maps. the site is www.collectivesuccessinc.com. email me - shanbeach@gmail.com.

thanks again!!!

So, just judging from your post and your user name. I take it that you are a Web Designer in Orlando. Are you looking for nationwide clients or just clients in your local area? Also, do you have an office?

Let me know. Based on your response, I may have a simple solution for you. It'll be a lot quicker than writing articles, etc. Articles and other backlinks are still good, but not necessary for what I have in mind.

Also, what is your business name?

Hi There...In your reply to my 64000 backlinks post you mentioned an easier method...love to know the details.

"There is also a much quicker, simpler way depending on the business type. Shoot me message and we can discuss more details to see if it would work for your business."

Thanks
