    I'm looking to have a 3rd party review website to manage my testimonials for the website like http://www.customerlobby.com/

    Anyone have any cheaper alternatives than them? its about 100 for setup and 99 per month to upkeep; a little expensive for a small business.

    I think 3rd party is better than having your own internal testimonials b/c it's more believable.

    thanks!

    Reseller ratings is about the same price. I think you can use shopping.com for free, not positive on that though. We do a PPC product feed with them, and we can use their survey system for free. One of the benefits of either shopping.com or reseller ratings is that they show up in google as your site rating. You need to get something like 20 before google shows the stars, but it's a good thing when they do start.

    Well I know that all the shopping feeds like shopping.com and epinions.com that are owned by the shopping networks are free if you are selling items on their website. How about if you are selling services or anything that is not on their shopping networks? That's what I'm concerned about.

    thanks!

    That's what I'm not sure about. I know our surveys still work even if we don't have anything listed. You may be able to open an account just with the $100 deposit.

    awesome! can you also embed the code in emails so they can review your site from emails as well?
