I was not aware by the point of influence rankings. I only think always that reviews are only for spread brand awareness and promotion. Along with this first tip helps a lot me to find out reviews sites. Thanks for sharing such a informative post…..:-)

Adam, agreed! Purchasing reviews, or even giving real incentives for posting them, would be unethical and also could come back to bite the business owner. “Do no harm to your client” is one of Bruce Clay’s mantras in his SEO training, and it certainly applies here. Thanks for your comments!

Agua Web: Agreed. Monitoring your online reputation means watching out for negative reviews. Google Alerts (mentioned in #11) can help, though the alerts don’t seem to catch everything. How do you monitor your reviews?

Allan: It’s not stalking, it’s called social media! Seriously though, social media’s amazing benefit is the collective “mindshare” of ideas, to use a word David Amerland is fond of. (He’s another one not to miss, by the way!) As we connect with the influencers and thought leaders, we not only learn but also can build on their ideas with our own. Glad to know you’ll be part of it! :)

There is a lot of good stuff in your post that I wasn’t aware of… Thanks
