Google Maps Engineer Comments On My Black Hat Local SEO Hack

from The Edward Show Hosted by Edward Sturm

E552: A Google Maps engineer saw my viral video about a Local SEO exploit in Google Maps. It's a pretty crazy exploit, if true. And the Google Maps engineer addressed it directly. I checked LinkedIn to make sure the guy really works at Google Maps. He does, and was at Microsoft before. This is what the black hat exploit is (warning: it's explicit) and the Google Maps engineer's response.
