Google Local Search

Many other search engines think they have the perfect solution for advertisers. Some forget how far ahead of the curve Google is. Today Google launced a new local search at local.google.com. "For now, Google will not display local advertisements on the service, but it plans to do so in the future." - News.com

Google did provide hyperlinks to Yahoo! Maps and MapQuest when I search for "Papa Johns 16803," but you get regular search results if you try to find Carmen in San Diego.

Recently Yahoo! added its SmartView service to Yahoo! Maps.

Yesterday Yahoo! made a press release stating the Overture will launch new local search products in the upcomming months.

I see you baby. Shakin that ass, shakin that ass... <--- good song

Today Yahoo! announced that they are making Yahoo! Maps more interactive by including the locations of various businesses within city locations. The new Yahoo! technology goes by the name of SmartView Technology.
For example, you can check out Thai restaurants in New York City near the Greek Coffee Shop.
