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

Google Custom Search vendors and options
Hi everyone, We're in the process of finding someone who will be able to help set up Google Custom Search on our site and are having some trouble - most agencies we were hoping could help solely focus on Google Search Appliance, a hardware-specific approach that doesn't suit our needs. Specifically, we'd like to replace our current site search engine with Google Custom search, as well as configure it as deeply as possible for the best search experience I'm hoping people could give me some ideas on who might be able to help, or the best places to look. Thanks in advance!

Not schema, but a new kind of search result?
I came across this search result in Google and I've been racking my brain out in trying to figure out how they did it. Do a search for Novus CD4 and you'll see a search result where they list additional products from the landing page. I used Google's Rich Snippet tool to analyse the page and find no microdata at play. Any ideas how this was achieved? Have you guys come across anything like this? I was thinking of integrating this with schema to display rating stars and prices on an ecommerce site S4aL5.png

Convert Oganic ranking into Local Search Results
Hi, Right now, my website appears in top 5 results in organic SERPs, but I noticed that my business has gradually started going down, as my local results have been replaced by organic search results. Initially I used to rank in local results, but now, I appear in organic results so the no. of calls/day have decreased significantly. Now, I again want to appear in local search results instead of organic results. Please advice what should I do to remove my listing from organic search results and improve position in local search results PFA the screenshots for both the results for your better understanding. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, qHKAt.png 0cPOp.png

Will Search Engines implement timestamps?
We continuously receive comments on our partners' websites which are obviously spam from a third world country trying to build backlinks that some SEO firm outsourced. Out of curiosity, and what I've added to my prayers at night is for the search engines to apply an algorithm update to discredit comments posted under a certain time frame to help identify spam, and these garbage practices. Do you think something like this would happen? My most important thought is...how can we compete with companies that are doing these practices trying to get that quick buck? Look, we want to play the game with the highest ethics and morals and not "cheat" the system because we know a "work around". Thoughts...

Is Bing actually using Yahoo's search engine now?
All my Bing rankings are now the same as Yahoo's ranking were, but I expected the opposite. Meanwhile, my Yahoo rankings are exactly the same as they were last week.

What is the Best Way To Structure A Growing Internet Marketing Firm?
I have been asking a lot of personal friends (who own SEO companies) this question and have found that it seems to be on all of their minds. From BlueGlass to a small start up consulting firm, it seems that everyone is doing things different and constantly shaking it up. I am wondering what SEOMozers are doing/have done for their company structure?
