Retail Blogging

Marcel Brown, call your offices.  I was blogging about iPod repair for St Louis (or is it St. Louis or Saint Louis), and just a few days later the number three search in Google is for that entry.

Marcel Brown does iPod repair, which is a good thing, because believe it or not, my iPod just went kaput and gave me that sad face.  It's no longer under warranty - so I get to try out the service myself.

More important, this is yet another example of how business blogging can pay off for small businesses.  The key thing to recognize about that Google search is how many people are listed in the ads on the right.  Those people are paying for the privilege of being listed for iPod repair.  Marcel gets it because he knows a blogger who needs his services.

How long before other small businesses catch on?
