Google Ireland Local Business Results

[Dara]

Just noticed Google Local Business Results A-J showing on Google.ie in a lot of travel niches specific to Ireland tonight. First time I've come across this and has potentially big implications for organic SEO. Anyone else seeing this in similar or different niches.

It's sad to see that there is SPAM in it already. See [car hire cork]. Actually I did a post about it earlier today http://www.blackdog.ie/blog/google-local-business-center/

Dead link here also at the top Dublin Seo which is strange. Its a serious blow for affiliate marketeers IMO in many cases leaving a top organic position now 14th with 3 Google ads and 10 local listings. I wonder what the stats would show with regards what percentage of searchers click into the Local Listings.

In anyone is interested I wrote a guide to ranking in google local search based on what I could find, plus some interesting experiences I had with LBC.
