		<description>I always hold the image in my mind of Google &quot;loosing some records&quot;, it puts things in perspective in the technology world in that even the mightiest trip over a cord, or crash a hard drive or more likely have a teensy weensy bug in their code.

Did you end up deleting and reentering?

		<description>And my listing is back....

I have to climb to the top of the rankings again, but I am showing up for my company name as well as te services I offer.  

I wonder what the problem was?  I still did not recieve any communcation from Google Maps on this, even though I opted into the feature you showcased above.</description>

		<description>@Blumenthal:

Tanks for the kind words Mike, I was thinking your comment about me described you better.  :-)

In all events, I disagree with your opinion of me.  I do agree that Maps is a work in progress, and only was offering a suggestion as to why his listing was down.</description>

Hi Jim - I&#039;ve had it upteen times that listings I have entered into the LBC have &quot;magically&quot; disappeared off of Google.  Unlike you I&#039;m not the world&#039;s biggest proponent of Google, it&#039;s more a matter of quiet submission to the Google Gods.  

What I usually do is an &quot;edit&quot; to the listing. Submit and generally within a couple of business days the listing reappears.  

*shrugs* 

Bless their little hearts.

		<description>Thanks Mike.

You know, I have been making this one change a day to my listing to see if it does some magic and I noticed I am not receiving updates to my listing, even though I opted in to do so in my account.

So this new feature isn&#039;t working for me either unless it works different than I understand.  

My listing is still not showing up at all in Google Maps and the Local Business Center still shows it as active.</description>

Sorry about the missing comment, the comment approval system thought it was from a new poster. Thus it required my approval and I was on the road all day traveling back from SMXLocal and was unable to do so.

You have my permission :) to ignore panzermike. He has a tendency to reverse the golden rule...&quot;do unto others before they do unto you&quot;....and that world view puts him in the situation of seeing conspiracy and evil as the the default explantation for life&#039;s (and Google&#039;s) many vagaries. Clearly, Google Maps and its integration with Google is still a work in progress and the likely explanation in that situation is a bug not evil Maps Jen :) pulling the spam switch.

I believe you Jim.  But the question is, without clear rules as to what mapspam is, how do you really know?</description>

@ panzermike I am not a spammer and none of my actions on the net could be considered as such.</description>
