I have in fact run in to this issue in the past with clients and it can sometimes be very difficult garnering those organic positive reviews. However, you're absolutely right about too many reviews at one time as it not only has the potential to harm your credibility, but also your social commentary via search engines. Thanks for the feedback! That’s a great idea Karl. I have in fact run in to this issue in the past with clients and it can sometimes be very difficult garnering those organic positive reviews.

A sudden burst of positive reviews from new users with no history ends up making it look like an astroturfing campaign. Users can spot organic reviews from "motivated" reviewers.

It totally makes sense that he was on that show (and also makes sense why he is so abrasive with his reviews...he's just competitive by nature.) Thanks for sharing! Karl, that is so awesome.

From what I heard, he always paid out in cashiers checks from the Currency Exchange right underneath the Brown Line on Montrose. The owner was one of the contestants on American Gladiators.

Yelp is becoming so valuable to the consumer now that most people won't even try out new places without checking the reviews first. Conviction Fitness made a huge mistake in attacking the most valuable asset it had in generating new business: word of mouth. Good call on <a href="http://newegg.com" rel="nofollow">newegg.com</a>. I use their website all the time and never really appreciated the depth at which they go to make happy customers. Just proves that some people get it! I totally agree.
