I got a GREAT present for Christmas this year and early to boot… not from Santa but maybe even BETTER!
FROM GOOGLE!!!! It was a regular day today until I went to my mailbox and found this in it….
My Google Envelope
At first I thought it was a regular Google advertisement piece…. but then I read the letter and started to jump up and down, I could not believe what I was reading it was like I won the LOTTERY!!!
My GOOGLE FAVORITE PLACE AWARD LETTER FROM GOOGLE
The letter basically said: “Congratulations! You’re a Favorite Place on Google”…
” Michaela Prescott The Google Local Business Team”
it also included a sticker (they call it a decal) for me to put on my door… so I did, here is the video:
Below is a video from Google explaining this COOL NEW QR code TECHNOLOGY…
Click on my Google Sticker below to go to Google’s page explaining the technology and how to use it.
My GOOGLE STICKER
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN????????
ANSEWER FROM Google website:
- How did Google decide which businesses would receive the decal? The list was determined based on the popularity of a business’ Local Business Center listing, as determined by how many times Google users looked for more information about a business, requested driving directions to get there, and more. Google users “decided” based on their actions, and we sent the decals.
- How selective was Google in selecting the businesses to receive the decal? Over 100,000 businesses were identified as Favorite Places, representing less than 1% of the 28 million U.S. businesses. We believe that our standards for selecting businesses are as selective or more selective than other companies which have run similar initiatives.
THANK YOU Google (AND MY CUSTOMERS)
P.S. I STILL USE THE GOOGLE MUG YOU SENT ME LONG AGO…
MY GOOGLE MUG... I LOVE GOOGLE!

Mayor Susan W.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations, great award.
Happy Holidays!
That is very impressive Mike. You will have to tell me some of your secrets on improving a site’s visibility, that is very useful knowledge.
BTW I noticed your blog remembers my name and e-mail so I don’t have to re-enter it that
is a nice feature.
Congrats on being a google “favorite”. Lloyds Studio is definitely my One & Only Favorite!! Your the Best & Deserve it… -dawn
I was searching for photography tutorials when I found your site. Good post. Thank You.
Your blog is awesome! I found it on Yahoo and couldn’t believe it.
I was studying something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your position on it is diametrically opposed to what I read before. I am still pondering over the opposite points of view, but I’m inclined heavily toward yours. And irrespective, that’s what is so great about modernized democracy and the marketplace of thoughts on-line.
