It seems to be working...

The universal search seems to be working... but I really wonder how well a video can drive traffic to your site, as opposed to for instance an article (submitted to an article directory).

Has anyone seen the effect of this, or done any studies?

Local Search

It is all about SHOPPING.

If you want technical information, the part of the planet where it comes from is less important than the accuracy.

If you are SHOPPING for local services in a hurry, local search matters.

I don't get this whole "localized search" idea. Of the thousands of searches I've done I can only count a handful where the location of the result mattered. In those instances I was looking for local services, using the Internet as a 411 directory, in which case I simply included my location in the search string. I'd bet that in this day of global community the vast majority of searchers don't care where the info they are presented is physically located, not to mention that the majority of webpages are as meaningful to searchers regarless of where the site is hosted.
