"When I subscribed to GeoLocal and looked over the site, the quality of the material available (case studies, article references, forum discussions) surprised me and greatly exceeded my expectations. In fact I'm still working my way through the material referenced by the site.

You're doing a great job with your site, I was really impressed with the redesign. Plus you clearly have the tenacity to work at something until it succeeds, and I believe you're right in thinking that local search/geo search is going to be the next big thing. I think we're just starting to see it take off."

Sharon, honestly, I think you've got hold of the most fascinating Internet *concepts* currently available. You are way beyond simple e-commerce, Web site tweaking and such.

When the collective *zeitgeist* DOES turn your way (and I'm quite convinced it will!), you will be perfectly positioned.

    The articles and success stories alone are worth the membership fee. Then there's the free autoresponders, ebooks and software, and a great discussion forum. Geolocal is my favorite online "hangout" and it's been invaluable in building my business.
