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.

Diving into Social Media...
Hi Our company has a Facebook page - it's pretty outdated and barely used. I want to change that, but wondered if anyone had any advice on how to start it up again? It hasn't been used for a while, so how do you start off with your first post? Or do you act like you have been there the whole time... probably not the best idea. We don't want to confuse people or look stupid with the first post. I want it to be regularly used for content, community building and demonstrating the personality of the company. Thank you 🙂

CSVs From Social Export are Blank
Hi everyone, I'm exporting social metrics as CSV's, but the CSV's don't have any data. This is happening with both the dashboard and the Facebook reports. There is plenty of data, it's just not exporting to the report. What could be going on? Thanks.

Social Media and its importance for organic ranking
Hi Community, maybe this question hasn't to be answered directly, but can be answered with a link. I am sure the answer must be out there on the web... 😉 I have a company, a companies website and a companies facebookpage. Now the question: What kind of user activity on my facebookpage is good for the organic ranking in google? Is it only good, when people click the "like"-Button on my homepage (which gives me a nofollow-backlink from facebook - unfortunatelly in most cases hidden for googles eyes)? Is it useful when I get a "like" directly on my facebookpage? Or is it the best to have a status on facebook that is shared very often? Will Google see the connection between a shared facebook status and my website (of course the website is on the info page of my facebooks site...)? I ask that because I wonder how (for example) a viral picture on facebook shared very often can helb my business. Uuuuh, so, where's my answer on the web? 😉 Thank you!

What is the best social backlink checker available right now?
I want a tool that i can enter a domain into and get all the social backlinks available. Preferably the tool that keeps the most recent database of this information. I'm willing to pay for the tool, it does not need to be free. Not sure if i'm using the right terminology here, by "social backlinks" i mean Facebook Shares, Twitter RT's, Google +'s, etc.

Custom Social Media icons: Good or bad?
Hi guys, In our never-ending search for better SEO strategies and results, our journey has led us to question the idea of creating custom social media icons for our site. We are wondering if anyone has had experience, either negative or positive, by using these icons, or if there is no difference at all? I would like to make it clear that we are only thinking about customizing the icons that lead to our Facebook page, Twitter profile, YouTube channel, etc. NOT the like/share/tweet/etc buttons. We understand the negative effects in changing those icons, but are interested in knowing if creating general icons that match our design will be a good or bad thing. Any replies are appreciated, thanks!
