		<description>Fantastic article. Free directory&#039;s are important and I would go one step further to include in the marketing strategy ongoing article optimization with paid directories. This combined with good quality blogging and linking will increase your sites page ranking.</description>

		<description>Aside from giving us our targeted traffic, I heard that local directories also helps to improve our listing in google maps.. Is it true?</description>

		<description>Welcome James, 

I am glad you are here because I have important information to share with you. I am going to leave your comment because I know how the economy is affecting businesses like yours and I make it a point to share with others why we need to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.growmap.com/small-businesses/&quot;&gt;support small businesses&lt;/a&gt;. 

What you need to know, though, is that almost every other blogger or forum moderator WILL delete comments like that. You are going about this in a way that will simply not be effective for you. 

If you read my post about &lt;a href=&quot;http://GrowMap.com/KeywordLuv&quot;&gt;how KeywordLuv benefits businesses&lt;/a&gt; and use it while leaving comments that add to the discussion in each post most bloggers will keep your comments and allow you to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.growmap.com/building-traffic/&quot;&gt;create links back to your business&lt;/a&gt; that are critical for your success.  

You should also definitely get your free listings as I explained in this post. I would be happy to assist you in any way I can. I do not charge for advice because I know that many who most need it are already struggling and can not afford to pay consulting fees. 

I also recognize that many do not know what advice to value.  I assure you that what I know and share is going to end up being critical to the survival of many small businesses online and off.

		<description>Hello Mark, 

I suspect few realize that almost everyone uses the Internet now. The only exceptions I know of are the elderly who do not realize they could be interacting with their children and grandchildren online. 

Once they realize they can receive photographs, chat with them live by typing, audio or even do see them on the screen many who would never have had a purpose for a computer find one! 

These listings are not just for computer users. They are also fed to iPhones and GPS systems. Just recently the owner of an upscale steak house restaurant told me that customers are showing him on their handheld devices that he is not listed. 

They say their friends told them how great his restaurant was and if the referral had not been so strong they would have just gone elsewhere to eat. Fortunately for him they were able to reach the people who recommended they eat there an find out from them where he was. 

That does NOT usually happen. Most businesses that are not REALLY easy to find are losing business every day - and they don&#039;t know it!

I was tempted to change your anchor text from your name to &lt;a href=&quot;http://facebookemoticons.com/&quot;&gt;Facebook Emoticons&lt;/a&gt; but since you could have been trying to brand your name I just added a link here instead. 

I encourage all my readers to understand how leaving comments can benefit them. Take time to understand how &lt;a href=&quot;http://GrowMap.com/keywordluv&quot;&gt;KeywordLuv&lt;/a&gt; works as it can greatly benefit you.

		<description>Hello Sanarita and welcome,

Businesses need to ACT on this information right away. Every day they delay is another day they miss out.  Your comment reminds me that I need to research how UK based businesses can best do this.
