KML and Google Maps
I'm sure everyone has seen how heavily Google is integrating third party data into their Google Maps business pages. The are grabbing details about businesses from all over the net, and displaying them on the maps listings.
Black hats eat your heart out. Nobody scrapes like the big G.
The funny thing is that I actually want them to scrape my sites. I'm going to help them do it too. I would love to have my links and my brand sitting on Google's uber trusted domain. If you have an aggregator site that has "client" pages, you should be generating KML files, and other microformats from that data. I have not actually gotten a feed in yet, but I'm working on it. Anyone have any luck with this? See any traffic from it? Rankings boost?
If you want to get really fancy, create your own microformat. Currently, people are making them for recipes, cars, and many other products and content types.
