This year local search is really taking off:

So, the question is, how do local searchers search?

For shoes they type “Kansas City Shocks” or “Omaha shoes”
For an accountant it's “Chicago west suburb accountant”
For computer programming it's “Idaho .Net programmer”

That's the reality of search on the local level and the search engines get it and are rushing in to be the big players in the local directory game and deliver search results all around town instead of just around the world..

This is from Duct Tape Marketing, who is offering a new service to submit to the many local Search Engines. Here's the handy list of the main local Search Engines' submittal pages:
