Have you used Reziew or Reevoo?
-
We are looking into companies to work with for customer reviews and ratings on our e-commerce site. We want our customers to see what others think and we want unique and fresh content on our site for Google to see and the rating star rich snippets in the SERPs.
Two companies we're looking at right now are Reziew and Reevoo. Has anyone had any experience working with them? Any advice for choosing one? Or advice in general about choosing a partner for this? Any other companies you recommend?

Good to know dogids. Thanks for the update. Since my response above I wrote a post comparing eCommerce review vendors, including Revoo, on SEO best practices. Here's the link if you'd like to read it, but I thought Revoo had a pretty good system overall. They're definitely not like everyone else - http://www.seoverflow.com/ecommerce-product-reviews/

Hi Gerard,
We did decide to go with Reevoo and have been quite happy so far. The daily response rate from review requests to recent customers is consistently close to 10% which we feel is the most important metric. Our review response rate was way below 1% prior to this with the BazaarVoice integration on our store.

Hi DogiDs,
Any update on whether or not Reziew or Reevoo performed to your standards? We are currently seeking out a review system for our website, as well, and I found this post by searching for info on Reziew. We're also in talks with a company called Pluck from Demand Media. Their system seems very robust, but a little higher on the price point than what we were hoping for. Reziew is priced quite modestly, which makes it a definite contender, but there's always that fear of the product being "cheap" for that same reason.
Please let me know which you decided to go with. Thanks!

Hello DogiDs,
I've used BazaarVoice and Power Reviews (now owned by BazaarVoice too) as well as a few others, but not the two you just mentioned. Their representative's reply below seems educated on the SEO-issues to look at when choosing a vendor. If all of the review content is only found in an indexable format on your product pages and they have good customer support, competitive pricing, agreeable contract terms... then they may be worth checking out.
Maybe some others will provide some unbiased, experienced feedback on the service so this thread will be marked as a discussion question.

Hi Dogids, we've got of course our own favourite (but you probably guessed that already).
When looking for a reviews and ratings provider you should think about the following:
- true reviews from true customers (look for a solution that proactively reaches out to true customers only to submit reviews).
- volume of reviews generated (higher volume; for better conversion rates, a better customer experience and higher overall ratings).
And of course look for a review vendor that follows the key SEO principles:
- Indexable content: the content is embedded on-page to make it visible to search engines.
- Relevant unique content: publishing each review in only one location to avoid diluting SEO value by duplicating content.
- Fresh content: updating pages automatically and regularly with new reviews.
Happy to continue the discussion privately and answer any questions.

What heading tag to use on sidebars and footers
Hello, I have some awareness of how to use H1, H2 and H3.
On-Page Optimization | | kowston
H1 only once per page as the main page heading.
H2's should be subheadings, H3's are sub-sub headings of the and so on.
This structure gives hierarchy and opportunities to use additional keywords in an order of priority. I can clearly understand how this would work in an article but what about other content on the page such as global/frequently repeated elements like sidebars and footers? I see sites - and in particular, I have examed SEO focused sites - that use H3, H4 and H5 in these instances seemingly giving themselves scope to use at least H2 tags as part of the page content and break out of the structure hierarchy when dealing with sidebars and footers. I suppose this could signal theses headings are sections of the page that are less relevant than the main article content but that is just an assumption. I don't know what is correct.0 -
Should you aim for Google to use your meta tags?
When updating meta titles and descriptions, I'm taking note of whether Google is displaying the set tag or changing it to copy from the page. Does this affect the ranking position if Google is having to change the tag? How much should I worry if Google is choosing to change every other page? Thanks!

Is there any use in reducing organic bounce rate if they are going to leave anyway?
Is bounce rate itself an important factor? For example if my page which shows pricing for a service ranks high, people usually come to that page, then go to the contact page to see where I am. Most of them then realise I'm not close enough and exit. Now, I could give these people that info on the pricing page but that would drive my bounce rate up. Does it make a difference from Google POV?

Should I use rel=canonical in this case
Hi SEO pros, I am working on a website competing on the keyword "USA maps" and would appreciate your advice and comments on the issue below. The site has one major page for USA maps and like 5-6 smaller pages under different categories, e.g. US travel maps (under Travel Maps category), US travel guides (under Travel Guides), US atlases (under Atlases), etc. The smaller pages do not rank in search results and are not optimized well for any keyword. Here are my questions: #1. Do you think that if I add rel=canonical to the main USA maps page from all small pages that will help get higher ranking of the main page? #2 Or should I better try to optimize these small pages for the keywords they target (e.g. "US travel maps") and try to send link juice to the main page from text link within the content? Thank you,

Using new domain in existing website
We have already a site and we want to make business in another country. We don't want to make a copy of our site because it requires more resources, but we want to use a different domain because the business will be run by a partner in that country. The idea is to make a folder in our site, www.mysite.com/countryname/ and associate a new domain www.newdomain.com, so when users go to the new domain they see the content under www.mysite.com/country/. Since de www.newdomain.com will use DNS redirection, the current domain won't be seen. Is this correct from a SEO perspective? Thanks!
