vbCMS is badly structured, poorly coded, SEO is extremely bad, infested with bugs and design flaws. While a CMS would be the optimal place for a reviews system, vbCMS is simply not suited for purpose. Quote:
I have requested quotes from a few developers some time ago, but received no or no viable response. With the above projects going forward, I think its fair to hold off hiring developers for now. If one of the above projects will provide the needed functionality and will properly support customers, then our goal is reached. Quote:
For example: http://download.cnet.com/Calibre/300...-10910277.html The editor has written a long review and his ratings reflect the review. In this case a clear separation of editor/author rating and user ratings is wanted. The editors review holds more weight. But you can also choose to just have a product listing with basic facts, and only add user reviews/ratings. Like IMDB for example: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1071875/ In such case there is no need for an author rating. If you want to automatically fill your listings with affiliate product data (amazon or abe books for example), then the first post, will be a listing, not a review. If you want the first post to be a user review, then you would need to either only have user reviews, or have a combination of author and user reviews. I think the first option would make the most sense. What do you think? |

Hey FM,

And yes I think having both options (editor rating and public rating OR public votes only) is great, the choice would depend, like you said, on how detailed the reviews are and what we're reviewing (media, products, classifieds). Quote:

If you consider that a written review has 1 author, then it would not make sense to have multiple editors rate for the author rating. Would be confusing. |

I will add this function to the list:
I also added a clarification to the list:
--------------- Added [DATE]1329582422[/DATE] at [TIME]1329582422[/TIME] --------------- A question to those of you who want to use reviews to generate affiliate sales: is it needed to have geotargetting for affiliate links. For example: a user in Australia will not buy from amazon.com but will buy from abebooks. So it would generate more income to use geotargetting and serve up a 'Buy this product from Abebooks' button than to show an amazon.com link to the user. What do you think? |

Thanks for the thread Alfa. It would be great If you could add the demo links for the current work in progress products in the first post. I can't seem to find any of them.

That would make sense after the first Gold release. Only TedS his product review addon has been released: Product Review Forums – Research, Reviews & Comparisons

I can only speak for our team here, but we have 6 developers and the resources to definitely make product reviews a reality. We also have the infrastructure to serve the data across a large number of sites via our api. We already serve over 1 million requests per hour for our product data across our 26 server cluster.
