RE: Getting reviews to stick on Yelp & Google
That's a tough one. As you probably know Google changes the rules constantly. It seems to me that whether or not reviews show up has mostly to do with whether or not Google has crawled the page where the review is and updated it's index to include the info. It usually takes a few weeks from when the review is posted.
As far as ability to choose, sure they could, but they don't. Google like to make algorithmic changes rather than individual moderation, which does make sense given the volume of data they are working with.

RE: Getting reviews to stick on Yelp & Google
No stars, but they do improve your local seo rankings. A few of my clients have had personal visits from Google local reps who have been able to get reviews re-posted. With Yelp, the user usually has to write more than one review to avoid deletion.

RE: Analytics for Facebook
Hhhhmmm with the lack of cheap easy fixes to the vastly in accurate self serve facebook tracking interface, maybe there's an opportunity to build a simple Google Analytics patch through the Facebook api.

Analytics for Facebook
I'd like to use an analytics program to track Facebook like conversion. I've tried just putting the code on the page that I'm framing in. I'm getting some activity, but it definitely isn't tracking correctly. Anybody had any luck installing Google analytics or another tracking program on an FB fan page?
I asked this question last week and didn't get an answer, so It'd be nice if one of the SEOmoz guys could chime in.

RE: Getting reviews to stick on Yelp & Google
There's really no way around it. Google/Yelp have decided that unless a user is active over a period of time and reviewing several different businesses, the person must be a fake. They can't tell the difference and commonly delete reviews. Many of my local business clients have had legitimate reviews deleted. I've been recommending insiderpages.com since it is easier to get the reviews to stick and they still get indexed by Google.

RE: Analytics for Facebook
Don't beat yourself up, I probably wasn't crystal clear. I've gotten limited success, still working the kinks out...

RE: Analytics for Facebook
I'm not tracking link clicking, I' want to track number of page views to the non fan and fan version of the iframed page.

RE: How do you value a site that generates no income before it's sold?
Everything is worth what the buyer will pay for it. Since organic search traffic ebbs and flows, a simple traffic times conversion equals monthly price may to be reflective of what someone will pay for it. You might want to think about offering a lump sum payment where the customer takes control of the domain and a monthly fee where you retain control, but re brand the site for the client.
Good luck

RE: Google Places - Overcoming a geographical disadvantage
One of the often overlooked factors in local ranking in customer reviews. Implementing a simple email marketing program to request positive customer feedback can boost rankings and expand the geographic area your citation is "relevant" for. Couldn't hurt to buy adwords for your target keywords and include your places listing as an ad extension.
