SocialSeoMaven,
I reran Reilly's data, making adjustments for cost of living, with some dramatic results. Detroit comes out as #1 and 7 cities moved from the top 10 to the bottom 10.
Anyone interested in the Excel file can email me at the address listed in my profile.
30 conversion goals are outstanding and it'll be a huge benefit to be able to label goals. One nice improvement on AdWords that I haven't seen any mention of is the ability to test conversion tracking without clicking on your own ad. This seems to be a recent addition so we did a quck write-up with screenshots on our blog, http://blog.eclickperformance.com/.
Excellent suggestions! We have a case that's exactly what you're describing, Mike. The Local One Box is at the top of the page and perfect, yet the PlusBox is attached to the first listing with the wrong address, phone number and url. Perhaps a solution could be implemented into Webmaster Tools similar to the recent addition of Sitelinks. Your article got me thinking about an older post on SEOmoz about the use of address tags in html. Not sure if it'll make a difference, but it's still good to know.
Hi Mike and Miriam,
It appears that you can go back and change a business listing on Yahoo even after it's been claimed. Unless we're missing something, simply claiming a business isn't enough to give you "Merchant verified" status. We're speculating that you must be an advertiser to acheive this, probably through Yahoo Local or the Yellow Pages. Also, while Yahoo does require you to sign in if you wish to add or edit info as the business owner or employee, they do not require any sign-in to add or edit as a customer.

Miriam,
I think it would be more appropriate for Marriott, Hilton and other hotels to assume the role of the business owner for making edits. We've been able to successfully change one of these affiliate spam listings that way, although it did take a few days to go through. We've also attempted to change another affiliate link by editing as a customer, but are still waiting to see a result. Also, our client is a member of the Marriott family and we immediately alerted them to this issue.
