Hello Perry, great article on Google. At the end of the day it was really important for google to do this because they are bound to protect their “brand”.. And thats a bricks and Mortar philosophy.

Hi Perry,

As always, a great nugget of information.

With regard to your link on the ReachLocal stats, I’ve talked with their reps in the past. They will gladly take 15% of your monthly advertising budget with no concern regarding conversion. My experience with some of the the other big media outlets has shown the same. Not many folks willing to take your money will stand behind conversions… only impressions or clicks.

Perry:
As usual you are right on the point.
Common sense is usually always the best sense. Forget all the ways to game the system and give the user what Google wants to give them- a great user experience. Remember also Grandma has seen more b.s. in her life than the youngins and dont try to fool her.

Great article. We recently ran some seminars on best practice web design and got the audience to use a similar approach when comparing sites.

But I like this analogy better.

PS. I have just put Grandma on the payroll!
