isPermaLink="false">http://www.stayonsearch.com/?p=309#comment-2765</guid> <description>In my experience citations matter most.  Has anything changed over the last year?  I get so frustrated with this friggin&#039; business listing.   It seems like Google can&#039;t make up their mind how they rank businesses.
Is there an easy way to automate citations?  I can&#039;t find much info on the Net about this.
Thanks,
Dave </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my experience citations matter most.  Has anything changed over the last year?  I get so frustrated with this friggin&#039; business listing.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.stayonsearch.com/?p=309#comment-657</guid> <description>I think the centroid plays too big a part in the 7 pack scoring and the map scoring.  Citations and reviews help, but I&#039;m not sure that the centroid isn&#039;t a massive factor and overriding one at that.  I&#039;ve been noticing problems in Google&#039;s ranking procedures for videos too.  My personal opinion is that local listing and video search are still very wild west.  A sheriff needs to come into town and clean it up </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think the centroid plays too big a part in the 7 pack scoring and the map scoring.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.stayonsearch.com/?p=309#comment-205</guid> <description>Geography clearly contributes but my analysis shows that there are many other factors involved.  One thing I think Google does it determine how dense highly qualified businesses are near the geographic center.  If they pass a threshold then the map collapses.  If they are lower than the threshold then the map expands, looking for some high scoring businesses.
