One of the after-effects of the Local Search Marketing Guide and the astonishing attention it got is that I’ve been barraged with emails from companies/web sites operating in the Local Search arena who want to make me aware of their product / web site / service / advertising opportunity for small businesses.

Since I’m on the road at the moment, these emails will have to wait. I do intend to update and expand the LSMG first chance I get, but for now let me point you to a recent article on ClickZ where Phil Stelter introduces a few new local search marketing opportunities — sites that have a strong social element with user-generated content such as reviews, blogs, etc.

Good material and well worth the read.
