Local is the ugly step-child for sure:
To see an entire series of well written Local Search 'expert' interviews complete with observations, opinions, and tips largely ignored indicates many can not see the trees for the forest.
Miriam's Mike Blumenthal interview sphunn-out at 17 (now 7-days ago).
David Mihm interview sphunn-out at 20 (now 3-days ago).
Poor Tim (Local Search Hound) barely sphinning at 5 (now 1.66 days ago).
And now Will Scott sphinning gamely at 7 (now at 2-hours).
Even Rand Fishkin's name can not boost Local Search interest:
Rand's Mike Blumenthal interview sphunn-out at 9 (now 3-days ago).
Is it because it is 'local'?
Because it is 'search', not 'social'?
With authority but without celebrity?
Fascinating lack of interest in a fast growing sector of search and of marketing.
Nice work Miriam.
@iamlost: Shush, don't wake anybody up. We wouldn't want them to think there are profits to made in local. :)
Pssst...hey buddy, can I sell you some local SEO? Come around to the back door.
Haha, I agree, let's rejoice in a small but dedicated group of bloggers who are so truly enthusiastic about Local. It's exciting to be part of this and to be learning from such great people.
I so appreciate your kind support, Iamlost, and yes, I did notice that Rand's interview didn't go hot either. I guess the majority of Sphinners are more keenly interested in other subjects, but at least we do have a local section here at Sphinn for those to whom this stuff is the exciting part!
