Hreview marked snippets are displayed in a new way in search results!
-
Getting our reviews to show in the serps is starting to become a crusade
After 6 months of submitting our Hreview marked up content, Google responded with that we had a hidden div within the marked up content, to rectify and then resubmit, which we did.
4 months on, we haven't heard anything, and still no sign of our reviews showing up in the search results until today I noticed we now have a review link in the search results (or see attached see image).
It's not quite what I was after, so is this Google experimenting? Have we marked something up wrong? Or do we just have to be more patient, so our listing is presented the same as everyone else, such as Qype, Touch, Yelp etc?
Seems to be a very painful process! So any pointers very gratefully received

Just thought I'd give an update, and in case anyone else is patiently waiting for reviews or marked up content to appear, hang in there, as ours is now finally showing, 12 months after we first marked it up!!
Finally!

Thanks Simon, so you don't think we have any mark up problems, it's just a case of a waiting game.
If anyone else has a 5 pence worth ref our mark up, I'm all ears! Its taken nearly 12 months just to get "click for full review"
Certainly not quick this SEO malarky!

Ahha, all makes sense now, thanks for the clarification.
Seems like you're already on the right tracks, what will be tricky is getting your site known as a review site by Google, so that when searches such as 'ServiceMagic' are performed, your site's review page for ServiceMagic appears.
Once your site is classed as a reliable review site, you'll find the reviews starting to appear. Just need more reviews and to keep all the usuals such as on & off-page SEO going strong.
Seems like you're part way there as 'Click for Full Review >>: already appears.

Hi Steve
You're right, isn't a show-stopper, just an advisory message.
Ref. your reviews showing on Page 2 of Google; for the search term 'Looking Glass Photography' (without the word review in), can currently see 2 reviews, one from www.freeindex.co.uk (33 reviews) and one from www.touchbristol.com (51 votes)
So your reviews on other sites are starting to appear in Google's natural results for your brand search.

Hi Steve
It appears that your reviews are being marked-up with Count instead of Vote.
An example is http://www.freeindex.co.uk/profile(looking-glass-photography)_34386.htm which has a Count of 33.
Check out http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=1093493#countvote for more information on this, could be what's causing some issues with your reviews in search results.
Though with a Google search on 'Looking Glass Photography' you do have some reviews starting to appear on page 2 of the results.
Regards
Simon

Is there a way to get a list (backlink profile) of all tiny url's that point to my site or a competitors site?
I have noticed that most all links you find in all the major back link profile tools such as OSE or GWM, etc... do not show tiny url's. If there is a service that shows all the tiny urls pointing to your site, can someone please share. It has already been proven that tiny url's do pass link juice, so with that being said... if there is no way to find all the tiny urls that point to a site, wouldn't it be a great strategy to create all my back links with tiny url's to mask my profile from competitors? Thanks!

Huge website Search Quality Team problem
One of my clients, have a huge problem. His page which generate traffic over 3 milion unique users per month (GA) has been penalized in January / filtered by Google, reason is simple: incoming links from low quality pages... We try everything from reconsideration request to meeting Google Europe employees (But not directly with search quality team), reconsideration requests (over 10) in 6 month are bounced off we got automatic reply like "This website have still problem, read Google Webmasters FAQ etc." We contacted manually with webmasters which have websites with incoming link to us, some pepole delete with no problem, rest don't take any action to remove our links from webistes...A few days ago we use disavow tool links where we add all links which can be ignored by Google, so.. we make new recosideration data with specific information and yesterday we got the same reply like as beginning of the year.. Like this: "There are still some inorganic links to your site" What we can do? We lost a money, our client lost money, lost position, lost users... Anyone have any idea to contact with Google excluding reconsideration request form and forum?
