I have had quite a bit of experience (and success :)) with Google Places and I am considering submitting a Google Places review service for approval on BHW. Would anyone be interested in that?

Here are some of the details I would have in mind for the service:

--You could sign up to use it for a reoccurring cheap monthly rate (somewhere between $15 - $25/mo)
--You would provide us with the reviews (we won't write them for you)
--You could use it for as many domains/listings as you want
--You could submit as many reviews as you want

I would "drip" the reviews over the course of 3-4 weeks with different IPs to make them look natural and not raise any red flags w/Google.

I may also add something for citations as well, but that would not be for a flat rate - you'd pay a certain price depending on how many citations you wanted. Not sure on exact pricing for that yet though...

Anyway, it is all theory at this point until I gauge whether this is worth putting some time into. There is definitely money to be made with GP - I'm living proof of that...:)

Let me know if you would be interested in the concept!

Bump...Am I the only one making $$$ w/GP??? LOL
 
Last bump, then the thread dies...LOL
 
its a good idea, i think there is a software though called review robot or something. not sure if it does the same thing or not.
 
I think that is a good idea too, but not sure when I'll need to use since I am just starting on Gplaces!
 
Well, I have been into this business.

He charges around $250/month for placing client's site into google listing. We are talking about top3 places.

Once the site gets to 3rd-4th place in Google listings, it isn't that hard to maintain that place cause you'll see real reviews being done by people but along with Google;s alogrithm, Google placing's alogrithm changes too so you can not just play with GP.
 
And regarding fake reviews, if you are reviewing a site at google placing, you must be logged in from an IP near that place or google wont consider that review.

I can get around 100 REAL reviews from 100 real IPs but they are all over the world.
 
It looks like the answer to my original question then is: "No" - LOL.

@kingmurtaza196: PM'ing you now with a question...

Pardon me for being a noob, but isn't using proxy ip's that you have geo located to be near the place you are reviewing going to prevent google from figuring out that you are doing a fake review?
 
i might consider doing a jv with you. hit me up on skype when you get a min =]

So thats how they're cracking down on fake reviews.

So either get real reviews, ask friends to write reviews, or get a laptop and go around town using local wifi to drop reviews manually.

I think I'll let the client worry about the reviews. They must have some customers/friends to write reviews.

GP is really busting our balls now.

I had not thought of this. Thanks!
 
What ever you do try to avoid bots. these review sites detect them most of time because of No browser.

This wouldn't work theoretically.

What if I go to New York and stay in a Hilton hotel there,
then go back to Los Angeles and leave a review about the Hilton from there.

This happens a LOT of times, mostly hotels. Who say's, they are going to do the review straight out-of-the hotel?

OR do you REALLY have tested it, and your reviews won't count?

Could it be, because you left any footprint between making your reviews?
Did the Google Profiles were aged in any kind or complete new one's?

- As of review's, you can get a lot from QR-codes, which makes it easier for the people to review straight from their smartphones. Further of course, you explain the client how important it is, so that they get some off friends, family and partners.

I had a lot of top spots on Places last year but got caught is October 10 for a kword in title violation and my account banned. Started again in February 11 with another account and rebuilt everything from scratch. It came back but no where near as strongly or for the same keywords.
Places keep changing the algo they have done this twice already in the last 6 - 7 Months. Mike Blumenthal and other experts on the subject are convinced G intends to moneytize (similar to an adwords model) the Places service as soon as they get it tweaked to the way they want it, and why wouldn't they? Are they in this game to make money?
