We recently launched an extremely useful addition to My Neighbourhoods - a local business search facility with over 1.5 million local businesses. So if you ever need a pizza in London or pubs in N8 you know where to come.

As a member you can also easily review your favourite (or not so favourite) local businesses. Simply find the business on the My Neighbourhoods site, give your review a title and description, and pick a rating from 1 to 5 lovely stars. Easy.

If you’re a business looking for some free advertising (and which business isn’t?) complete our Add a business form to be included in our local business search. Not only will you gain exposure on the site but we’re well optimised for search engines, particularly Google.

Providing web design and web development services for clients and running a growing social network like My Neighbourhoods means I have to regularly manage and create search engine optimisation strategies. Anyone who does this knows that successful SEO is a long term job. For example, it took a great deal of planning and competitor research to get My Neighbourhoods to number one in Google for the term ‘my neighbours’, number three for ‘my area’ and on the first page for ‘my street’. We’ve only just begun and search engine optimisation should be a weekly part of most web site strategies.

So it’s a joy every so often to come across a resource that actually makes your job easier. That’s where BlogStorm comes in. I happened upon this blog while, unsurprisingly, researching SEO techniques on Google. It’s extremely well written and avoids most of the fluff and hyperbole you get with a lot of blogs around search engine optimisation.
