Geotargeting Inbound Links
June 7, 2008 –Could Google be geotargeting inbound links? What this would mean is that, if you are a local business and you get a link from a website that is close to your site geographically. This link is more important than a link that is from another country or another state. So having your local chamber of commerce, local newspaper, or local blogger link to you is more valuable to local search than having your sister’s blog from across the country link to you. This would likely be true even if your sister’s blog had more inbound link popularity than your newspaper. This could be big for local business.
