Yotpo for eCommerce social reviews
-
Anyone have experiences using Yotpo to support reviews for an eCommerce site?

I have figured this out so I'll provide the answer to clean up this thread. The Product menu shows the products that have been reviewed with the count for each product. When the Yotpo account is initially created, there are no reviews, so the system randomly selects four products and the count for each is 0. When product reviews are posted by customers, this list will change accordingly.
Thus far Yotpo is working great. The person verification using social media accounts and the ability to post reviews to social media outlets like FB and Twitter are great features.

In the Moderate tab there is a Products drop down menu. This drop down includes four of our products, apparently randomly selected as best i can tell. These products are then promoted to our Facebook page when someone posts a site review. Is there a way to control which products will be promoted? The ones that were randomly selected are more like accessories than products, and I would like to edit this list of products.

Using Yotpo to support reviews is definitely a good way to maximise the potential of user reviews on your eCommerce store. Rather than letting your customer reviews sit as secondary content on your product pages, you can share them on your social media profiles since consumers place a lot of trust on user-generated content. Moreover, given the number of "fake reviews" out there, it would be a good idea to verify if your reviewers are actual buyers.
I have recently written a review with regards to harnessing the power of customer reviews, with special mention to how Yotpo can help eCommerce retailers in doing that: http://blog.referralcandy.com/2013/08/13/yotpo/
Hope that helps!

Oh, it works nice. What platform are you using it with?
The social aspect is that it gives users the ability to post their reviews to their facebook or twitter accounts. I am pretty sure they just added rich snippets a bit ago as well.
I will shoot of an email in a few and ask Omer about the sending back dated emails. I know that was something they were working on and they were also working on using unique coupon codes as well. Because coupons are great to send that way.

Thanks for responding. I am in the process of adding Yotpo to one of my sites now and look forward to activating the reviews soon. The system will send automated email requests to customers who made a purchase in the last 90 days, but currently there is no way to request reviews of products that were purchased prior to that. Sure would be nice if they would extend that range beyond 90 days. I don't fully understand the reach of the social aspects, but I think I have to begin using the system before I can fully appreciate the details and impact.
I also wish they would implement a user forum. In theory, they are working on that, but not sure why that would take more than a few days to do using an off-the-shelf solution. Beyond those two issues, the system does look promising.

I do. I have found it works really well actually. I beta tested the version out for Prestashop actually. The guy behind it, Omer is a great guy I have had a little contact with him. The only thing that worries me about the plugin is, what do they do with the information.
Other than that, it works flawlessly.

Multiple language redirect, link building and social sharing
Hi all, I have 3 questions bother me for weeks, thanks advance for any answers. We are an online langauge school, provide many content about learn Chinese , the site is http://www.chinesetimeschool.com/ 1. Langauge issue. As you can see, It's a multiple language site, when a user first time visit the site, it redirects (302) the user to his own language. I have read many articles about this, most said 301 is good than 302. But 301 is a permanent redirect, so it can only implement on one language, right? For example, if we 301 redirect http://www.chinesetimeschool.com to http://www.chinesetimeschool.com/en-us/ for english speaking users, we have to use 302 redirect for other languages, ie, 302 redirect http://www.chinesetimeschool.com/ to http://www.chinesetimeschool.com/fr-fr/ for French speaking people. Or in other words, we cannot use 301 to redirect home page to different language page, right? In my understanding, it will mess up google which language page the home page redirects to. 2. Link building. Our editor created a lot content, but from Alexa we only see 85 links back, which means our content has few exposure. We want to get more links back especially for the English version, any advice? should we find a US company help us since we are in China not famliar with US? Any good company or guys good at link building/content exposure suggested? 3. Social sharing. We have around 300,000 followers on facebook, many content pages has hundreds of shares, for example, this page http://www.chinesetimeschool.com/en-us/articles/new-years-greetings-in-chinese/ has 129 shares and 333 likes (I use Moz open site explorer tool), but if I check http://www.chinesetimeschool.com/, only has 130 shares and 414 likes. So I think shares of a page won't be counted in the domain shares. This makes me thinking of 2 things:

A. Will social shares of home page be more important than other pages? If so, we need share more of our home page.
B. Even if we have a lot page shares, I didn't see any google traffic changes (for at least half year), will it mean social page shares has very few influences to google seo? Many thanks!

Implementing Pinterest On Site and Social Snippets
Hi can someone confirm, does Pinterest use Open Graph Protocol? If you use the Pinterest Widget builder - http://business.pinterest.com/widget-builder/#do_pin_it_button Will the image you place in the widget replace the image Pinterest selects if it does use the Open Graph Protocol? The site already uses Open Graph Protocol for Facebook and Google+. It also uses Twitter cards for twitter. It would be good if we don't need to add more html (such as from the Pinterest widget builder) for Pinterest. -- Matt

I have a website and a facebook page. I have the Facebook Social Plugin on my website which shows my facebook page likes - This is currently at approx 140 likes. Is there a difference between facebook page likes and webpage likes? For SEO purposes, should I be concentrating less on the Facebook page and more on building facebook likes for the website?
