Local.com - Search for Local Businesses, Products and Services http://www.local.com/
Local.com is a next generation local-search engine. Local.com provides over 16 million business listings as well as a broad selection of content from websites that are geographically local to your search. For example, search for 'porcelain veneers Irvine' and you'll not only get a relevant list of local dentists nearby, you'll also see direct links into the appropriate sections of their websites. Local.com is more than just business listings. A search for 'romantic restaurants Menlo Park' yields reviews of local restaurants by local websites, as well as the contact information for the restaurants so you can easily make a reservation for that special night out. Local.com uses a combination of their proprietary Keyword DNA™ and geographic web indexing technologies (learn more about Local.com's web crawler, LocalcomBot). By combining these technologies in unique ways they provide you with relevant search results for local business, products and services, plus the extra dimension of data that appears on the local web. This can include anything from links to reviews, environmental reports, PTA meetings and much more. This has been added to the search engine section of all the 2005 Internet MiniGuides.
