Something Unusual with Reviews in Google Places Listings
I was perusing the Google Places listings today and found something pretty odd. Or could you say that it unusual? Or just a coincidence? If you take a look at the reviews that are being automatically shown in the Google search results (organic search), you will notice that every review contains the words "Overall" or "All in all". I guess if someone were wanting their particular review to show up in the search results, one might consider including the words "Overview" or "all in all" in their review. Go ahead and test this out. Search for a city name + keyword like "hotels" or "hotel" or "restaurants" or "bike shop" and you will notice that the review that is picked to be displayed almost always includes "Overall" or "all in all". Coincidence? I don't think so. |
