Looking for an open source way to host product reviews...
-
We currently use power reviews for our item reviews but want to move towards something that can be hosted internally and thus forgo the cost or power reviews and actually see user generated content play a role in our site. Any suggestions?

Hello John,
I have used several enterprise solutions like BazaarVoice, and solutions for open source content management systems like Drupal and Wordpress (there are plenty of those around, mostly free) but without knowing what platform you're on it's tough to come up with a recommended solution.
Since I haven't personally tested them out I don't want to list them specifically for fear that people will assume that is an endorsement, here is what I suggest: You may find what you're looking for by reading the following thread:
http://www.hotscripts.com/forums/script-requests/165-looking-good-review-management-script.htmlAnd by looking into some of the solutions discussed on this page:
http://www.hotscripts.com/category/scripts/php/scripts-programs/reviews-ratings/I hope that helps! And I'm pretty sure lots of people see this as a problem that requires a solution, thus I'm pretty sure there are some solutions available to you depending on what platform you are using.
Good luck!
Everett

Off the top of my head, no idea. But I think thats because no one(?) sees this as a problem that needs a solution
Facebook comments? any simple commenting system? Ask your devs to roll one
Id love to see CRO tests of that stuff vs normal review mechanisms etc

What is the best way to incorporate region-based keywords?
Greetings Mozzers, I am wanting to get the most "bang for my buck" in regards to region based keyword pages. If I am going after the keyword "Plumber" and the region "San Antonio", would it be best to: 1- Create a San Antonio Plumber page where we can target all critical factors for the region based keyword "San Antonio Plumber"

Looking for suggestions on email outreach title/content
Hello, We created a "How to choose a product" PDF that we are marketing to resource pages and blogs in four appropriate niches. It's good, unique content that's useful.The PDF has it's own non-commercial page. We will be doing email outreach with buzzstream. Is it important to never ask for a link in the first email? We're offering one of the following four in exchange for the link (they get to choose one): 1. A link back on one of our other sites in the same niche (not reciprocal link) 2. $100 in adwords traffic including up to 20 keywords. 3. Facebook share of their URL 4. Tweet of their URL Let me stop there and see what your feedback is. We're looking for (about) how many emails to send out building relationships before making the above offer. Or is there some way to make the offer immediately? Also, what makes a good subject line? Rand seems to indicate that you can make the offer right away in this whiteboard friday but every other article and video I've watched have said to build a relationship first. Any help is appreciated. We'll be writing all completely custom, researched outreach emails, carefully crafted.

Is there an easy way to create this type of post, wordpress?
I run a site that is in Google news and built on wordpress. I have seen this type of post on a few sites http://searchengineland.com/searchcap-the-day-in-search-december-21-2012-143315 Its basically a summary of posts for that day or week etc I am wondering, does anyone know of an easy way to create these types of pages? At the moment we simply copy and paste and create all links manually. Im wondering, is there a plugin that allows you to create a post like this but quicker? Any ideas at all would be great Thanks in advance

Making anchor text look more natural
Hi there, I have recently been approached by a company looking to do some SEO work for them, having had a look at their link profile, they had being using a lot of exact match anchor and have seen a drop in the rankings, no surprise there. I was thinking of asking the website where they have placed these links and changing them, so there is a mixture of exact, phrase, brand etc, what do you think? would this be best practice? or just leave these as they are and start building fresh links? Kind Regards

Best way to improve page rank
I notice many small business sites seems to have a page rank of 3,4, or 5 which don't appear to be doing a great deal of SEO on their websites. i.e these are very basic sites with a little static content that rarely changes, no blogs or particular links. Does having a high page rank still mean your will achieve better search engine positions? whats the best way to improve page rank for small business sites? thanks
