Thanks for sharing this – there is such a difference in spelling – colour, favour and as you say all the z’s….. the geotargeting/anchor text is interesting. Your article has given food for thought. Thank you.

London SEO your talking about local search now be a nice person and read the article which mentions local search but is not about local search its about country specific searches and inbound links and language doc types are relevant and important as part of this. By the way your URL was removed, well if your not going to provide a valid email address, that’s life

Have these “facts” actually been verified or is most of this just what the author thinks is the case?? For example, Google DOES have a way to check that your office has some sort of presence at the address you provide – it sends out postcards with a verification code you need to enter into the Local Business Center. And since when did dialect, inbound links or anchor text make any difference on local positioning? They’re only important from the optimisation point of view. E.g. If u run a Starbucks on Oxford Circus, no matter how crappy your anchor text or poor your “mockney” you will still show up tops on a Local search for a coffee shop around that postcode.
