Best Review Articles, Ideas, Slide Decks, Studies & Why

[CodyBaird]

Good Afternoon,

I am preparing for a review presentation that I have next week. I was wondering if any of you could point me in the right direction; ?reviews? slide decks, studies, articles, or ideas that you would be willing to share that will add to my presentation? It would be cool if you shared why you think its relevant or best.

PS I will be creating a post on our site after and will reference and link to what is shared.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Wow dude! Nice list. You basically did all the curating & home work for me. Cliffs Notes has nothing on Phil's Notes.

I haven't read more than 1/2 of these posts!

Thanks for taking the time on your Saturday. You saved me from my typical procrastination, cramming the night before an assignment is due.

Sure thing, Cody.

That damn Cliff stole my idea for the notes and got all the glory

Haha I was coming to say, just check Phil's RSS feed for any post with the word review in it because they are all good!

I just scanned our review forum here for some of the latest good ones.

Found this REALLY cool one by Miriam on Whitespark:

If you are going to talk about the dangers of fake reviews, here is a good one:

Thanks, Linda.

Speaking of whom, I meant to include this great post by Miriam:

Edit, Remove and Respond To Reviews – Tools For Conflict Resolution

...but I've been getting a database error every time I try to go to the site. (Hey Miriam, you may want to look into that )

 

[Linda Buquet]

Yep I get DB error too.

They must take Sunday, off unlike some of us, so have not noticed.
I'll shoot her an email.

I like stats and studies (some of these may be duplicates from prev posters:

• Data: ?Silent Majority? More Likely to Generate Positive Reviews | LSA Insider
• Survey: SMBs Want Vertical-Site Reviews, Say Publishers Corrupt
• 88% Of Consumers Trust Online Reviews As Much As Personal Recommendations
• Survey: 90% Of Customers Say Buying Decisions Are Influenced By Online Reviews
• Reviews, Ratings and Hotels ? What research tells us (so far) - The Analytic Hospitality Executive
• Are Positive Customer Reviews Hurting Your Conversion Rates? [Study]

Sorry guys we have a forum bug that keeps double posting. So Cody did not do that the forum did.

Cody you didn't really mention who your audience is or what direction you are coming from in your talk. But I'm working on an interesting review post right now. Will be done soon.
