Actually, what you do is send them an email that says:

'please review "add your company here" in the title of the email.

It is best to use a form like 'Mach Forms' or a page on your website, that you send them to, via a link in the email that says "please review my business".

In the form you send them to, via the link in the email, have it set up where they can review your business for 1-5 stars and put a small text box in the form where they can give you a review (in the form have them add there name, email, review 1-5 stars and a text box for the review with a submit button at the bottom). Once the form is submitted it comes strait to your inbox.

Here is a great example of a page you would send them to for the review from you: http://www.imahawaii.com/local-search-marketing-java-gym-review

When you get a 5 star review you send them another email and copy and paste their review in there and have links to all of the review sites you are listed on (Google Places, Yahoo Local, Yelp etc.), whichever they are already a member of they will post to. Then ask them to please copy and paste the review to one of the review sites listed in the email. This basically ensures you get all 5 star reviews and makes it easy for your clients to post the review with little effort.

If you get any review less than 5 stars you can then use the info they made in the review, that you received, and try and make it right to the best of your ability.

This is a great preemptive strike to ensure all your customers are happy and that you get all 5 star reviews for your business on local review sites.

I heard on a tech forum that google was getting in some legal trouble posting reviews from other websites and adding it as part of there reviews. I understood it as other review companies believed google was stealing their content, so google is now only allowing reviews for Google Places Pages that were only derived from google themselves.

Capthca's are so hard to solve sometimes, it is getting pretty ridiculous. I really think that sounds like a pretty full proof tactic outlined above, until the spammers find out that it takes people 25 seconds to fill out the form and then they will adjust.

I have a local search marketing expert friend and he said it is best to always send customers a review style email so they can give you there feedback. This way you can fix any customer problems you may have before they feel so wronged they have to resort to social media as an outlet.

Had a friend who was and atheist and quit, because there weren't enough holidays.

Thanks for sharing the top 15. I do think it is pretty ironic that Facebook makes people more anti-social, even though they call it "social networking".

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a really good word press tutorial. Also, I am starting up a new site and need a theme really seo friendly for photographers as I am going up against some pretty stiff SEO competition.

Also, is there anyway I can get around having to do coding? I want to be able to manipulate everything myself and in the past i looked into Wordpress and a great deal of coding was needed to make your template really fully customizable.

Any help would be great. Thanks

Some of the benefits for Google +1 are that you can divide your friends into different groups so everyone doesn't see everything you post which is really cool.

This way you can send your beer drinking buddies a message and your son and daughter won't see it. Pretty good feature.

So many things you want to say are only meant for a few and not everyone, which is why i hardly even post anything on Facebook. You have to keep everything so G rated so you don't get accosted by the masses. Facebook almost takes the social fun part out of social networking.

If you want to find really quick tutorials on Facebook just go to Youtube and type in Facebook Tutorial or Facebook 101.

Hope this helped.
