E-commerce Customer Reviews/Ratings Solutions?
-
Hi all,
Was wondering if based on your experience you could recommend E-commerce customer reviews/ratings solutions? Or if you prefer to use in-house built solutions.
I currently have proposals from bazaarvoice, Shopzilla and Reevoo.
Cheers

Unless you can find a 3rd party provider who allows you to "white-label" their rating/reviews to your subdomain, there is not much value having it. The review/rating system should work semi-automatic to block any type of spam and you should own the data (i.e. be able to export it).
Unless you can run this on a subdomain, there is zero SEO value for you though....

No problem.
I believe FeeFo moderate the feedback. We have had a good result when responding to any negative feedback.

Thanks Craig, I'll give them a call.
Just one last question; who moderates the comments and reviews? You do or they do?
Cheers

Hi Carols,
I know that for us that is work in progress but can happen. We are using there base system without any direct integration to our site (cost more than anything at the present time)
If you speak with them I am pretty confident they would be able to achieve exactly what you are after.

Hi Craig - Ideally I would like the reviews to be hosted only on my site so that I can benefit from the fresh/unique content.
If you look for the content left by reviewers on your site, you'll see that Google has indexed it on the FeeFo website https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=This+was+a+present%2C+but+of+course+I+had+to+try+it+on+myself...+Nice+quality%2C+so+much+so+that+I+did+briefly+consider+holding+on+to+it.+I+will+be+tempted+to+order+again+for+my+son.+There's+nothing+like+a+luxurious%2C+thick+new+dressing+gown+to+make+you+consider+your+own+worn%2C+threadbare+one%2C&oq=This+was+a+present%2C+but+of+course+I+had+to+try+it+on+myself...+Nice+quality%2C+so+much+so+that+I+did+briefly+consider+holding+on+to+it.+I+will+be+tempted+to+order+again+for+my+son.+There's+nothing+like+a+luxurious%2C+thick+new+dressing+gown+to+make+you+consider+your+own+worn%2C+threadbare+one%2C&sugexp=chrome,mod=0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

I have used both Trustpilot, not that hot and now we are using FeeFo which seems to be working well. We have feedback at both service and product level, take a look on www.towelsrus.co.uk.
There technical team are working on a nice solution so as to allow both SEO benefits from reviews and also as we do currently receive back links from there site on reviews, so a double whammy.
There tech team are really helpful and very responsive so a good all round reviews solution.

Server-Side A/B Testing - Okay for SEO?
Hey Moz Community! I've been digging into the differences between server-side testing and client-side testing and had a generic question. Is it safe to run server-side A/B testing? For example, if I want to Split Test the home page of a site and show 50% of my traffic one home page, and show 50% of my traffic a completely different (read: new template, new content, new CTAs, etc) home page, are there any implications to SEO and organic search? I've spent about five hour researching and from what I can find A/B testing is acceptable as long as you don't show Googlebot different content or run A/B tests on Googlebot. Matt Cutts, head of Webspam at Google, has stated that A/B testing does not impact search rankings. "A/B or split testing or other forms of testing web sites is okay by Google as long as you don't test GoogleBot or don't treat GoogleBot differently." The biggest concerns for SEO cloaking, so from my understanding, for server-side testing, you'd need to do user-agent based redirection so that Googlebot (or any search bot) gets the normal version of the home page. The bots shouldn't be part of the test. Technically that is cloaking, but intention-wise, we're not trying to be sneaky. I've also read through this article about experimentation from Google developers here. Am I missing anything here or is there a definitive answer? If we serve a “B” as a different site for user testing, just exclude google bot by user-agent and we’re good? THANKS!

Conversion Rate boost - Website Feedback
We are a relatively young company with an Okay conversion rate of around 2% across several different sales channels. I am mentioning this because our website with the same type of products has a very low conversion rate of under 1%. I know this is a deep topic, involving different analytic metrics, but would like to ask MOZ community members if there's anything obvious that needs improvement on this website www.cherrywalls.com that would help to increase conversions. I will be happy to answer any additional questions or to clarify things! Thank you for your time! Any suggestions and/or critique are greatly appreciated!

How to find average organic traffic growth rate for ecommerce startup?
Happy Friday Everyone, I have a quick question: I am in the process of crunching some numbers to try and figure out an organic traffic forecast for a client. One of the crucial metrics I can't seem to figure out is traffic rate of growth over the next year or so. The reason this is complicated for me is that I have only ever done this sort of thing for an established business before, and had plenty of past organic traffic data to work with. What I am looking for is a source that could give me a reasonable idea of what kind of growth rates I might expect for a startup with practically no data; I would be perfectly happy with a national average for online retail startups. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Why has my bounce rate gone in to orbit since moving the same content to a new site?!
I moved our site to a wordpress theme over the christmas break. All content is pretty much the same word for word, and I think the new site looks much, much better than the old one. Why then, has our overall bounce rate gone from 7-8%, up to 74%? Bounce rates for some KW focused internal pages have gone from 2-3% to similar 70+% in some cases. Just to confuse things further, I have also changed the name and branding for the site to differentiate us from a competitor and stop the confusion we've experienced at times. But, I can't see how the new logo would cause and extra 65% of visitors to leave straight off! I really don't want to go back to the old name and don't think that's the answer anyhow, but I may have to test it out of sheer desperation. There's only a static holding page for the old site now as a reference point for people searching the old name (not many). So I've attached a screenshot of how it looked below. Also at http://imgur.com/aM5o9. The new site is at flatroofs.co.uk. I have just noticed that by placing the previous 'more information' links a secondary menu in the left widget area rather than on the page, they are less noticeable especially if you scroll down to the bottom of a page, where the only links are in the footer? Again though, if 75% of people are put off this easily something else must be at play! Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Danny. aM5o9.png?1

Their pages also have very high bounce rates (70-98%) What are your best ways to reduce bounce rates?

For the hotel website, should i make homepage banner/slideshow in flash or javascript
Hello Sir, We have build hotel website and enabled google analytics on that. When we were going through the report of google analytics it shows that 69% have java and other 31% visitor has no java. We have designed Slideshow/banner on home page which shows different pictures of hotel which is in javascript. My question is as per google analytics report 31% have no java, that means they are not able to see that slideshow/banner of hotel pictures? is this the reason for 23% bounce rate on our website? Please help on this because I have spend nights on seo and tried lot of goal conversion techniques with different landing pages. I will heartily appreciate you response. Thanks, Bandro.
