Just read a blog regarding blue pins showing up for Google AdWords advertisers in the Google Map at the top of a localised search result.

This seems to be in America (certainly the image was american) - does this happen in the UK at the moment (or do you know if there are any plans for this to be implemented?)
 
Yes this is available in the uk.
But i must warn you this can play havoc with any listing that you have.
Its called user content.
when you try to implement one you are taken to USA.
They dont get shown on page one. Not that i have seen yet but they do show up on maps.
They still need you to log in.

Its called user content.
when you try to implement one you are taken to USA. When you say "try to implement one" is there are option to implement one somewhere? And what do you mean you are taken to the US?
They dont get shown on page one. Not that i have seen yet but they do show up on maps.
They still need you to log in. They require you to log in to see them? Or something else?

Hi Ali - please see my further questions above - if you can point me in the right direction to read up on this then please feel free (and save yourself some time :D)
