The latest API's are so advanced of Google and even their enterprise is poor and overpriced compared to the likes of ViaMichelin and multimap ( now bing ).

Had no idea NetSol was actively encouraging businesses to violate Google's guidelines. What a shame. Blackhat tactics on a grand scale. At some point, Google will surely de-emphasize business title as a ranking factor but until they do, your advice here is sound. Tom,

Terrific post. Had no idea NetSol was actively encouraging businesses to violate Google’s guidelines. What a shame. Blackhat tactics on a grand scale.

At some point, Google will surely de-emphasize business title as a ranking factor but until they do, your advice here is sound.
