    I was reading this article and wanted to bring it up for discussion:
    http://www.wordtracker.com/academy/keyword-deserves-local

    Has anyone noticed a drop in their website traffic lately, due to recent competition with local results in the search engine results pages? It seems that not all keywords/keyphrases return local results, so have you actually done a search for your targeted words/phrases lately to see whether they're now returning local results (whereas they weren't before)?

    my traffics drop but I guess that it is because I am not posting as usual like I use to do.

    We haven't seen any drop, this probably means it can happen in certain niches and not all of them.
