<description><![CDATA[Are you wondering what is Google Local Business?  Basically, Google local is Google's way of delivering a better user experience for customers who are trying to do business in their communities. In 2008, more people turned to the search engines for local search than turned to the print yellow pages.  While the percentage difference was small - 31 percent vs. 30 percent, Google and the other search engines are trying to take advantage of this fact and provide the results that viewers want so that they will continue to come back for more.  Basically, when a searcher modifies any search with a city name, a listing of 1 to 10 companies that match the search will come up.  For instance, when someone types in "flowers," they could be looking for any number of things including gardening information.  But when they search for "Long Beach flowers," they are probably looking for a local florist.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Do you need a $500 - $1000 payday loan?  Here's how to qualify for a small advance on your paycheck.  First, you should understand the rules.  When you want an advance, you are going to have to write a check for it.  If you want $750, you'll probably write a post dated check for $860 that comes due in two weeks.  If you can't make that payment, the lender will offer to roll it over for another $110 for two weeks.  As you can see, this $500 - $1000 payday loan can become quite costly if you don't have a plan to pay it off quickly.]]></description>
