Yelp is a little more legit looking than most online complain/review sites and seems to be more legit than most complaint sites but don’t overlook the fact that they are still a complaint portal in the form of reviews. I have seen some pretty nasty reviews on this site about businesses.
Yelp provides online local search capabilities for its visitors. A typical search includes what the user is seeking (e.g. a barber shop) and the location from which the search is to be performed, entered as a specific address, neighborhood, city/state combination, or zip code. Each business listing result contains a 5-point rating, reviews from other site visitors, and details such as the business address, hours, accessibility, and parking. Site visitors can aid in keeping the business listings up to date, with moderator approval, and business owners can directly update their own business’ listing information.

Listings and related content are organized by city and a multi-tier categorization system. Content and listings can also be discovered through categorized reviews or via Yelp member profiles and their review lists. Maps leveraging Google Maps show reviewed businesses to further aid in business discovery.

Yelp combines local reviews and social networking functionality to create a local online community. Adding social web functionality to user reviews creates a de-facto reputation system, whereby site visitors can see which contributing users are the most popular, respected, and prolific, how long each has been a member, and which have interests similar to theirs. Strong peer feedback mechanisms and the featured placement of popular reviews on the site and in local newsletters help motivate contributors. Yelp also applies a “First to Review” reward system to create a competition among contributing members, further motivating the creation of reviews and adding to the site’s business coverage.

The company strengthens the online community through off-line events at nightclubs, bars, restaurants, and cultural venues in various cities for its most prolific and loyal contributors named “Elite” members on the site. These members must provide a photo and their real name, be at least 21 years of age, and in return receive a special badge on their personalized page for every year they author a specific number of reviews. The concept is meant to indicate that the user is a trusted author of business reviews. The site also has a forum for online socialization and to discuss local businesses and events. A number of competitors emulating these Yelp concepts have failed or were acquired. Source: Wikipedia
Now the problem with Yelp:

There have been numerous reports from business owners that Yelp has been removing or not allowing new positive reviews to appear on their Yelp listings. Businesses have also said that Yelp has purportedly solicited funds from them in order to help improve their star ratings. Not only does yelp seem to help their paying client remove negative listings or keep them from appearing, they also seem to allow more negative items on non-paying member profiles. There has been a lot of negative press about this issue and you will find details about this issue if you simply Google the term “Yelp Scam”.

If your business is on Yelp and has a few reviews, good or bad, your Yelp listing will most likely appear high within Google search results when people search your name. This can be good or bad, depending on how your rating is with Yelp. If you have 5 stars and all positive reviews it may help your business. If you have a few negative reviews and a lower rating it may deter people from doing business with you.

Yelp is a ticking time bomb! Today your rating may be great and you are happy that the Yelp page about you ranks so high on Google, you might even link to it from your website. How are you going to react when a competitor or ex-employee or someone posts a couple of negative reviews about your business and causes your Yelp listing to be a pool of negativity?

Reputation management experts believe that if you push Yelp.com back 3-4 pages on Google when people search for your name then you won’t have to worry as much if you get negative complaints. The fact is only a small fraction/percent of searchers go past the first page of Google and even less go past the second page of results. The 3rd page or deeper is considered a tolerable zone for complaints to be on search results about your company.

To push a Yelp complaint further down search results you must get positive or neutral items about your company above the Yelp.com results. To get items above a link the items must out rank the link. You will need to use various search engine optimization techniques in order to push back the negative links.

A reputation management company can help you remove Yelp reviews and complaints. If you find your Yelp listing has come back to haunt you or you find that Yelp is hurting your business, contact ReputationArmor.com at 1-888-358-ARMOR or visit them online: Remove Yelp Reviews

New Green Building initiative by Capital Remodeling

Green building, also called sustainable design, is a term that is sweeping across the construction industry. Green building involves making a concentrated effort to reduce the construction industry’s carbon footprint. Obviously this involves certain decisions that affect decisions and practices during the construction phase, such as transport of resources and supplies, worker practices, and the proper disposal / recycling of left over materials. Green building practices go far beyond the immediate reduction of a construction company’s carbon footprint, however. It should extend well into, and beyond, the life of the building project to have a positive and long term impact on the surrounding community and, by extension, the environment in general.

In order to effectively streamline resources and practices, and truly maximize the efficient usage of materials and resources, careful attention must be paid to design, construction, and maintenance.

Green building practices will concentrate on three specific areas and resources; environmentally friendly materials, energy consumption, and water efficiency. Of course a fourth area, the health and well being of the building project’s intended occupants as well as the community, of which the building project will become a part of, should also be heavily considered.

The main focus of green building and design is to create a neutral to positive impact on the environment. The rewards for choosing to work with the environment instead of against it are obvious and numerous. There are, however, many financial benefits associated with green building practices, as well. A green building project that has been thoughtfully and skilfully designed, constructed and, of course maintained, will reduce overall construction costs by as much as 25%, will significantly lower maintenance costs, and provide other forms of monetary savings and benefits. On top of this, tax breaks, rebates, and positive branding will also contribute to the financial benefits that will result as an outcome of green building and business practices.

In order to effectively streamline resources and practices, and truly maximize the efficient usage of materials and resources, careful attention must be paid to design, construction, and maintenance. Design involves an emphasis on minimizing materials and waste, reusable and recyclable resources are chosen over other materials, and energy and water efficiency is planned at every stage. Along with reusable materials, cool roofing options are also utilized. Guidelines and restrictions for cool roofing colours vary from state to state so it is a good idea to look into exactly what is required before you build.

While looking into guidelines for cool roofing, it is important to also look into LEED certification requirements. LEED is put in place to provide standards of practice for sustainable design, or green building.

Tru Talent Management: Recent Article Mentions Tru Talent Management. view the article below. It has tips on avoiding agency scams provided by Tru Talent.

Every modeling agency like Tru Talent Management has different views of their roles in a models career path. That difference may lie within the know-how of the owner or leaders of the modeling agency. Characteristically a modeling agency is a company that represents models that are looking for work in the fashion industry.

Modeling agencies like Tru Talent Management and agency managers provide business support services to the models they manage i.e., advertising, PR, accounting and legal support in the form of standard contracts. Understanding modeling contracts is a key element to being successful in the modeling industry. Contracts can be perplexing for new models and having someone with your goodwill in mind to review contracts is very imperative.

All contracts should be covered by a written agreement. Do not rely on a hand shake or someone’s word. Too many models don’t get what they settled upon and have no documentation to fall back on. All contracts and agreements should at all times be read over by a lawyer before ever being signed. In the modeling world, legal documents define each party’s rights and obligations.

Top agencies like Tru Talent Management work with big-budget advertising agencies and fashion designers. They invest money into developing their talent so they can increase their status within the modeling industry. These agencies will help train new models, get test shoots, layout portfolios, and other printed materials models need. They take care of finding you work, booking the jobs, bill for the jobs and eventually write a check for the work you do. Once you are in an agency like this all you have to worry about is following instructions and fine tuning your modeling.

Because modeling is a very aggressive, fast moving business that extends beyond the traditional 9 to 5, an agency generally conducts business ’round the clock’ to handle emergencies, such as cancellations or rush jobs. Most agencies have a service or an operator to direct emergency contact after hours.

Taking your time while selecting what modeling agency is right for you will help you avoid modeling scams. Scam artists and untrustworthy agencies generally demand long-term contracts up front and use high-pressure tactics to con models into committing to high-commission percentages or signing over unnecessary rights.

An example of a modeling scam is when an agency claims to have work but in fact what they are doing is trying to sell photo shoots and modeling courses to would-be models. A reasonable agency ought to only make revenue off agency commissions.

Find out if you are ready for the modeling industry by contacting Tru Talent Management. Tru Talent Management is a full service agency with your goodwill in mind.

I’ve been sending out email camapigns for clients for over 10 years, and in that time I’ve seen variations in clickthrough ranging from 3% to 84%!

Some of this is due to the product, or the professionalism of the website, but a great part of it is down to the message that is sent.

So how can you maximise the chances of getting adecent response from your first email campaign?

Follow these simple rules and your email camapaign should be successful right from the beginning.

1) Know What you Want Before you sit down and write your email, think about what you wan tot achieve from it. more visitors to your website? More sales for a hard to sell product? More signups to your newsletter? Or something completely different? Whatever the aim, keep it in mind while writing your email

2) Spell It Write!! There’s nothing worse than receiving a marketing email with poor spelling and grammar. If you can’t spell and your email doesn’t sound right, how can you expect people to buy from you? A marketing writer such as Angela Sherman of Content Creation can help you with this.

3) Not Too Long Keep paragraphs short and punchy - you have very little time to grab people’s attetion, and text on a screen is notoriously difficult to read once a paragraph hits more than 4 lines. Stick to simple words, short phrases and paragraphs consisting of just 1-3 short sentences.

4) DON’T SHOUT! USING ALL CAPITALS IS DIFFICULT TO READ AND LOOKS AS IF YOU ARE SHOUTING. DON’T DO IT!

Occasional use of capital letters to emphasise a word is ok, but be aware that some spam filters delete email messages with words all in capitals.

5) Call To Action The first two sentences of your email should identify a possible problem the recipient may have, tell them who you are, and what you want them to do.

6) Conclude & PS If you have a fairly long email, don’t forget to repeat the call to action at the end, and in a PS to remind the reader once again what they should do.

7) Sense of Urgency Create a sense of urgency by using phrases such as ‘First 50 to apply’ or ‘Only valid until’ - fear of missing out on something always generates a good click through - guaranteed

Profiting From A Child’s Death
A Domainer John Gall Goes Too Far

Domaining is the business of buying, selling, developing and monetizing Internet domain names not for primary use as a website, but with the goal of profit generation with the intent of resale, like real estate. The noun form is domainer. A domainer is a person who engages in domaining. A person engaging in “domaining” is alternatively referred to as a “domaineer” and the activity is labelled “domaineering”.

There are ethical ways of domaining that I think I great like buying generic domains, expired domains, or popular general topic domains like “SwineFlu.com”.

Then there is a nasty immoral way of domaining. A perfect example of this nasty technique is what I found today when I was researching the death of Mike Tyson’s 4 year old daughter (Exodus Tyson).

Being a semi-domainer and savvy internet user myself I was curious and went straight to the TLD about Exodus Tyson, ExodusTyson-DotCom (I refuse to give this John Gall guy a back link). I understand why John Gall purchased the domain name, I understand the reason behind it, but I do not agree with it in this case.

Being a father of 5 daughters all under the aged of 9 years old, I am a little sensitive on the subject of profiting from a child’s death. When I went to the domain in question (ExodusTyson-DotCom) I expected to see a memorial type of site up or a typical “Ad Free” support the Tyson family site or something of that nature.

What did I see? A domainer’s (John Gall) attempt at a $2.00 profit, a single splash page with a picture of Mike Tyson, A heading that said Exodus Tyson - Daughter of Mike Tyson, a paragraph most likely copied from news stories about the tragic accident, and a weak ass disclaimer that said “This website is not associated with Mike Tyson, Exodus Tyson or the treadmill industry”.

When does buying/registering a domain name for a couple of dollar profit go too far? I will admit I have registered some domains that were other people’s names before, but these people were alive, older, and simply were not a small child, a little girl who tragically lost a battled to keep her life after an accident.

The domain ExodusTyson-DotCom was registered by a guy named John Gall, the registration info is below and contains his cell phone number. I actually tried to contact him for a statement without a response. John Gall owns about 400 other domain names and is obviously a “Domainer”.
