		<description>Even though they don’t help ranking, if you already rank on the first or second page for a few good keywords, I can definitely see the advantage of using Tags – especially if you are ranked “F” or”G” (in the 7 pack) or even “I” or “J” in the top 10.</description>

		<description>Sorry Adrien

Tags do not affect ranking in any way (according to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/help/tags/ads/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;google&lt;/a&gt;). They explicitly state, &quot;Tags do not affect the rank of search results; they simply add more information when a particular user is searching.&quot;

		<description>Hi David

The rollout in the US from &lt;a href=&quot;http://blumenthals.com/blog/2010/02/02/more-on-googles-enhanced-listing-for-local/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;test&lt;/a&gt; to full implementation in less than 5 months. Google, when they build, build to scale worldwide so one can only presume that it will not be that long. 

That being said, I have no special indication that it is imminent.</description>
