I am curious to know how many of the reviews will stay visible under the business listing. Many reviews of my clients, who only have 1 review, have been "disappeared" by yelp. They claim to have some formula for automatically detecting reviews that may be fake or self-reviews and solo reviews seems to be one of the main flags.
me too.
next week's reading (Kathleen Richards' Yelp and the Business of Extortion 2.0, from the East Bay Express) covers this topic of "disappearance" and will allow us, hopefully, to discuss yelp's formula and other strategies.
