The reviewmeister, Phil Rozek did a great post today sharing a bunch of review badges you can use on client's sites.

What good are your reviews if nobody sees them?

Whenever possible, you should show them off on your site by using a review ?widget? or badge. Many review sites offer them for the taking.

But review widgets and badges are more than flashy ?trust? symbols. They can also:

- Encourage any current / past customers who visit your site to leave reviews

- Help with your barnacle SEO (because you?re linking to your listings)

- Add a little extra color and je ne sais quoi to your site

Great post and nice list of badges Phil!

Thanks!
 
Saw that earlier. Great stuff. Phil always does an excellent job with his posts.
 
@Deke

Yep, that's totally fine. Nice badge, by the way!
 
@Deke - good work on that badge.

@Phil - Just to clarify... Will linking a Google+ page to a custom badge on a website (or email) give Google a reason to want to filter a review coming directly from clicking that link?

As long as not everyone you ask to a review gets to your page by clicking the link, you should be fine.
