Honestly I hate to see these tags go. Google tags may not have driven hordes of traffic, but that wouldn’t be any surprise as they were so localized. The truth of the matter is that they worked well for many small businesses.

Google Map Icons, how are they selected?

Local businesses are now being approach by google to take interior photos. They will be 360 degree, virtual tour type images added to Google maps. Google will come in, set up their camera, and begin snapping photos as the camera pivots on it’s stand. Google will then take the images back and seam them together. Not too dissimiar to what Google Maps does currently with their images taken from on top of their cars to create their steet views. Their are a few potential risks the business owner will be taking by allowing Google to do this but it will be hard to out weigh the benefits.

Google Sponsor Tags – Actions to Impressions (ATI) – Instances – And what about that link for the service areas… Hopefully that will be updated soon enough.

Conspiracy? Hidden Agenda? Or just poor standardization? Why are the QR-Codes for the same text/link all different?

It’s the supermap, not a wannabe superman…

****UPDATE**** Apparently the “reviews by a Google user” was a glitch in the system. My guess it was caused while they were migrating or integrating their databases. Other glitches on Dec. 7th, 2009 included the same results showing up twice…

What is google maps doing now? Are they trying to hide the reviews? Please help me understand! Can google expect blind trust when they don’t seem to trust the user?
