RE: How do yo get local SEO to show up on search results
To lay the "foundation", you will need to ensure your markup on your website is correct, your website will also need to link back to your company's G+ page. Here's a good article on correct markup techniques, which will help your local seo:

Are large property portals going to continue to dominate Google's search results?
We are having a discussion (potential argument) in our office around whether large portals (namely property portals) have longevity in Google's search.
Argument 1:
Google's rise in local search and rewarding strong brand names rather than keyword driven domain names will devalue property portals with keyword rich domain names. Property portals are essentially duplicating content on smaller individually owned property websites, therefore in time Google will devalue property portals.**Argument 2: **
Property portals have more property stock listed on their websites so therefore Google will reward them by ranking these websites higher than the smaller real estate agencies with niche stock in their areas that they operate in. The property portals that already are already in a dominate position already carry authority and their own sense of branding, therefore it's difficult for Google to ignore them. If we assume that Google is looking into user behaviour as a ranking factor, then this will help portals as they have more stock which means higher engagement on the website.I'd love to read the moz community thoughts and opinions on this. I reckon it's a worthy debate..

Cookie tracking in Google Analytics
Hi
How do I remove the "/?__utma=...." at the end of my URLs?We have a site http://www.jetonline.co.za/, if you click on one of the menu navigation links i.e. "fashion". A long "/?__utma=...." url appears. I understand this is for tracking as we have separate domains for each page but is there a way to remove this dynamic url and keep it hidden from users?Thanks in advance

RE: Java-script slider & H1 tags
That's a good tool. Shu-aib, what was the outcome? Did it show all the H1 tags or just one?

RE: Research into citation and it's effect on ranking
Thanks but this still doesn't provide any raw data proving that citation on 3rd party websites actually helps with SEO.

RE: Research into citation and it's effect on ranking
It's not a local listing but a editorial mention. So for example, if someone interviews you and inserts your company name into the editorial but has no link back to your company website. This is referred as a citation. aka, brand mentions

Research into citation and it's effect on ranking
Hi
I'd like to know if there has been any research into citation (brand mentions on external sites) and how it has / hasn't effected ranking, particularly Google Search?
If any body can point me in the right direction, that would be great.
Thanks
