CitySearch generates the title of the page as follows "(name of business) (city) (state abbreviation) : CitySearch.com". The best method I found is to use your keywords plus the actual spelling of the state as your business name, since the state name is abbreviated in the listing. So using your example the listing would appear as: <b>California Drug Rehab Malibu, CA : CitySearch.com</b> Thanks for your feedback, hope it works for you too. Hi Abhilash,

I'm definitely going to give this a shot and let you know what happens. Tips like these are so useful, because it's intolerably time consuming to create the original content to rank highly for phrases like "California Drug Rehab". Do you think this would work for state-targeted keyphrases or just city-specific keyphrases? I'll rock them both and let you know the results. Thanks for stopping by-- *abhilash Nice tip, Jason.
