Well, it looks like I’ve finally caught up with all the links I’ve been saving for the past two months. Covered in this volume of the Links of Local Interest are a Locally-focused monetization strategy for Twitter, two phenomenal Local Search posts from Lisa Barone, a strategy for tracking 10-pack clickthroughs (finally!) and a couple of interesting developments in the real estate and rank tracking spaces.

Wow. Just doing some research for my upcoming Search Engine Land article next week. Came across one of the cooler things I’ve seen in awhile.

After the discovery a couple weeks ago that Google has begun to show Local results on generic phrases, I suppose this should come as no surprise. But it is pretty damn cool.

In quick succession, volume 6 of the Local Links of Interest series discusses international Local SEO, old-line marketers failing to keep pace with “new age” techniques that have actually been around for a couple of years (like Twitter and the LBC), a great strategy for HyperLocal content development, and even praise for Google Maps!

Back by popular demand (or not, as the case may be), the fifth installment of my Links of Local Interest Series discusses the spread of 10-packs across Google SERPs, the “Brand” update and its effect on SMB’s, Locksmith MapSpam, duplicate LBC listings, and Local Keyword Research.
