Over at SEL, I posted a long Q&A from Google that responds to local marketer questions. For practitioners of SEM it’s worth taking a look.

That is a great set of questions. The responses are very helpful.
Thanks, Greg

Thanks for the article, Greg
I found the last two questions (about reviews) interesting. Seems to contrast strongly with Google’s policy on paid links. Paid links are bad, but “incentivized reviews” are… neither good nor bad
I guess, from a practical view, it’s a lot harder for Google to spot an “incentivized review” than it is to spot a paid link.

Yes, Google cannot police an “incentivized” review. It’s in a very gray area.
