]]> There has been a lot of press lately about fake reviews. As of October 24th, an SEO company was busted not only falsify a business location but also reviews, by creating Google+ accounts of known people in SEO. They had over 60 reviews coming from well known names in the industry. None of the reviews had an image though. The reviews have since be flagged and removed and the Google plus page has been flagged as a scam by Google.

 

Last week Yelp busted 8 businesses trying to buy fake reviews for their business. Yelp has since posted not only a warning on said accounts, but a link to their proof.
Yelp search for people looking to buy reviews on craigslist and exchanged emails back and forth. Yelp then post a link to the email conversations for the public to see and make their own judgment.

Is there a way to tell if a review you are reading is real, fake or just a vindictive person?

I saw a hotel get dinged because the power went out in the city. Yes the whole area lost power and the hotel was blamed for something outside of their control.
“…THE ELECTRICITY WAS SHUT OFF FOR SERVERAL HOURS ON BOTH NIGHTS WE WERE THERE.” The entire review was left in all caps. A power outage will ruin any otherwise enjoyable stay, but it can be enough to distort the entire view on the hotel.
You cannot please everybody. One major aspect of customer service is to insure that the customer/ client are happy. What happens when a client is not happy? They cannot post a rather nasty review on your yelp listing, Google+ page and other site to make you look bad. It could just be an unreasonable or an extremely vindictive person. A great team skilled in providing excellent customer service may be able to stop some negative reviews, but some will slip through. A majority of the negative reviews had to do with the mandatory valet parking at $28.00 a day or the charge for wifi. If you are not familiar with the hotels in the area, you will not know that is in fact common. Sorry no Free Wifi.

On Amazon.com, for instance, a suspiciously high 80 percent of reviews give four stars or higher, says Bing Liu, a computer scientist at the University of Illinois at Chicago who studies the inauthentic-review problem.

Things to consider when reading reviews.

Does this review sound plausible?

Sometimes you can look at a review and conclude that it is fake review.

Here is a review left on yelp:
“Da worse service ever.. Dey just judge me cuz I was in my work clothes.. Dey list a customer” Yelp has filtered out this review and it does not show up in the normal results. What if somebody saw this review and it swayed them away from this business, how would you even know the harmful effects from this fake review.
The other clue to a fake review is they only post the one negative review. This same user only had the one short review. There was not substance to back up the “claim” or any other reviews to show a pattern of reviews. Sadly in this day and age, this could possible happen or worse.

Sometimes a reviewer goes too far with the details to come off sounding completely embellished. Too much detail or not enough detail can be a sure fire signs the review is fake. The other strong indicator is the review has no other history reviewing other products, services or businesses. Writing 1 review that either bashes or states how truly wonderful something is, may need to be ignored.

Your market may be highly competitive.

You may not even know it but you, competition could be targeted your business with fake negative reviews. One negative review is a major eyesore to any business, but what if the review is fake? The general public may not know the difference and you may have lost a customer just from one review. The process to get a fake review removed is a painful process. With Google, it takes a long time to get a fake review removed. Yelp was busted years back for asking for money to have bad reviews removed.

Fake reviews is a big business, you can order all types of reviews on places like fiverr or craigslist. Positive glowing reviews, equals more business and more money in the pocket. I wonder how much money could be made off of 1 $5.00 5 star review? It’s a no brainer of a business solution, until you get caught. Everybody loses, the business and the potential client. The age old saying still rings true, buyer beware. Maybe it will take a major class action lawsuit to clean up all sites that rely on user reviews to fix the problem. Maybe all of the negative press about fake reviews will be the death of reviewer based sites. Time will tell.

]]> On Friday September 14, 2012, Google announce a diversity domain update. This another attempt to level the playing field in SEO and website rankings. In theory you will no longer see the same domain show up more than one time for any given keyword on the same page.

Shortly after the announcement by Matt Cutts, people started tweeting stating that it is in fact not working yet or still needs to be improved. Complaints were that the same domains were still crowding the SERPS by showing up multiple times on the same page. We knew of few results that had previously been showing multiple results for various keywords.

Our first example is for the keyword Santa Paula Car Audio. The top 2 spots belong to Breakers mobile and the position 4, 5 and 6 are for the DMV. There is still some major crowding. We do know that this may not be a competitive keyword but still shows that more work is needed.

Our last example is for the term Los Angeles Plumber. This is an extremely competitive keyword with just under 5 million results being returned. Mike Diamond shows up two times in the first page of the SERPs results.

There sure seems to be some crowding issues and same domain names showing multiple times. Maybe we need to wait for all the servers to update or need a small alog change, maybe 1.1 or 2.0. Well Matt did state that it was a small update. Time will tell then the next update will take place and how it will affect the SEO community.

]]> Most people who own a business on the Internet have heard that content writing is something that they should be looking at seriously and with good reason. You need to remember that most of the Web content writers that are worth their salt who work on the Internet are a serious bunch of trained professionals who understand what they need to do to get their clients the kind of results that they want from their Internet-based businesses.

These people often come to the world of Web content writing from a variety of different places but they all have one thing in common and that’s a dedication to producing top quality content writing that’s also search engine optimized. These are the Web Content Writers that understand what it takes to attract the attention of the search engines while not using some of the black hat type behaviors they can get inexperienced web content writers in trouble. That said, there are generally a few different areas where the best content writing comes from and these include,

  • advertising people. Quite often Web content writers are ex advertising people who have switched gears and learned how to write for the Internet.  These are people who generally know the words and phrases that help sell and once they’ve learned a little bit about search engine optimization, they generally become excellent Web content writers.
  • Former journalists.  Most of the people who have had occasion to use content writing professionals all agree that the best professionals here are the ex-journalists who have switched gears and come to the Internet to make their living. These are the people that know how to write a lot of quality content in a short period of time and they have become the best content writing professionals because they generally have a knack for mastering search engine optimization and meeting tight deadlines. When most business owners are looking to Web content writers to get the best product, they generally turn to the ex-journalists who have become professionals in content writing.

Content writing is like anything else in the business world in that you get what you pay for. Most of the businesses that get great results from Web content writers don’t mind paying that little extra that gets them the services of an ex journalist who understands all the nuances of search engine optimized content writing. These are the people who can produce the most amount of work in the least amount of time.
