Hi Ben,

How about getting reviews that google takes from insiderpages.com or yahoo local, for example, and having them show up at all?  Does google have the ability to choose which reviews it draws from these sites and to place on Google Places pages?

Hi Gabriel,

' Looks like an html entity code for some non-standard apostrophe.  Not sure why though, it looks normal. Your apostrophe might need to be changed to a single quote instead.

Page titles definitely can change rankings.  I have had mostly good experiences with optimizing my page titles for SEO, and a few bad ones, but nothing horrific.  How far did your rankings drop?

Depends on what you use it for.  When I was an affiliate marketer I used it a lot for auto posting.  But I obviously don't recommend you do that for any legitimate site (or at all really).  These days the chief value I get from it is generating keyword lists.  It is fairly powerful.  When you build a list, you can then copy the generated list to your seed list, and generate even more.

In addition to this, it is useful for performing google "dorks" to find sites that may be of interest to you for linking, or some other reason.
