I got mine by the old fashioned way of manual submissions to everything in the world I could find. I think my data mashup is better.

Do you think it could be left over blocking code from when my listing was banned? Perhaps the algo is blocking me from ten pack display for my most necessary keywords such as "Los Angeles Injury Lawyers" http://maps.google.com/maps?q=los%20angeles%20injury%20lawyers&sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS273US273&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl http://www.google.com/search?q=los+angeles+injury+lawyers&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS273US273 @all.
