Wisdom of the masses on this tends to be that a number of (presumably hand picked) sources are trusted as a source of local citations. Wondering whether anyone has tested this vs "shitty citations also count". ie, if I used PR distribution, directory submissions and articles with NAP contained in them would they have an effect? Group wisdom says no, but just wondrin'
Are you talking LocalRank here, or local searches?
Local search - places listings.
Have another #1 result being made useless by the new bigger 6 pack of local results above it. Struggling to see why some of those 6 even appear.
Someone posted a big list of places that used to be used as citations. Cant find it though :-)

I think the forum search is on the blink - I just tried searching and only get 1 page of results for every query. I seem to remember that list too and it was pretty extensive.
I posted it ! :)
This thread was just one of those weird ideas that goes through your head. I might chuck a load of junky ones in some unsuspecting persons direction and see what it does to local results.
The ones on the list I posted do work. It's just like returning to 199X watching my chap hear type them in manually. I need a new elf for these things.
