Another Google local hiccup I guess,.. the Bollywood Lounge, just in case you’re wondering is where Bronco is heading this Friday for a work night out and the Google Maps error correction is like a line on the Google re-inclusion request ..
Google Maps says : This address, phone number, map or business info is not accurate. Well yes it is but the URL is wrong but the “This address, phone number, map and business info is accurate”.
bit like when Google site reinclusion says ..
In general, sites that directly profit from traffic (e.g. search engine optimizers, affiliate programs, etc.) may need to provide more evidence of good faith before a site will be reconsidered. ???

Have you been tracking this one? It’s a wide-open exploit that a lot of thin affiliate sites are using to get a free ride to #1 at the moment. hint: other results in the top 10 SERPs actually have more location info, but http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=phish+concert+tickets+miami&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
