Optimizing for Local Search

As I did research on optimizing a website for local search, I found few things that should be considered. Below are the points:

1. First adopt organic way of optimization
2. Include city name and region in title tag, meta-description and meta-keywords tag
3. Have full address in footer area
4. Add business information in Local Business Center/Google Maps
5. Target local keywords in Pay-Per-Click Campaigns
6. Target keyphrase and location in each page
7. Have incoming links from local pages
8. Have incoming links with location and business
9. Have extra pages that are more local area related. For example: direction page, places to visit when you are here, Nearby parks/meuseums/schools
10. Having pages for other local offerings
11. Adding geo-sensitive meta tags. For example:(Meta name=”zipcode” content=”12345,45678,09876″; meta name=”city” content=”dallas, houston, Austin”; meta name=”state” content=”texas”; meta name=”country” content=”usa, united states of america”)

Hearing a lot about Agloco? What is it all about?

I recently have been reading and hearing about Agloco a lot. Are you too? I heard that it is an online community owned by members from all around the globe, who joins for free. Then different thoughts and questions started hitting my mind, "wow! really? So, it means I can also be a owner of this company if I become a member? Will I benefit from being a member? What if this is just a scam like many other "get rich quick" kind of scam? How will I get the share as the owner? How does this company work? And How do they make money?" Then I started reading more. It appeared that the company started around the last half of 2006 and they are progressing slowly. They still have a long way to go to start generating enough revenues so that they will be able to distribute owners their share and cash disbursement. What this means? Well, Agloco may just crash before it really becomes a successful venture. However, there is a positive and bright side as well. Agloco may be the next big and successful community and the company, just like Myspace or Youtube or even Google. What if this becomes true? How will it be to be a member or even a owner of such a company? Well, what is there to lose by becoming a member? It doesn’t cost me anything. Thinking about this potential growth, I just signed up. If you want to, sure you can. Just fill out a form and follow the instruction at www.agloco.com/r/BBFR6201 . Ofcourse, you should find out more about Agloco too.
