What i have seen before is you have a time limit on your sale, for example you say:

Normal price

I get these calls on a daily basis.. they say that im talented and instantly i know its a dodgy call.. same thing with blocked numbers..

I now just ask will this cost me money from the start and then just say sorry not interested.

I hate answering my phone from all these calls.

And these types of scams make it harder for businesses like seo or online marketing to market themselves

Yeah, thats a great way to moderate reviews, but it has its problems..

Firstly how many people actually have accounts at yelp, yell, thomsonslocal and or google account?

Then you basically ask them to submit the review twice, which looks dodgy and asking a little much..

The fact you only have 5 star reviews on your Google places listing? lets say you have 15-20 your bound to get a few 4-3 star ones if not lower.. Googles alarm bells will be ringing here.

You can moderate all you want, but nothing will beat sending clients who are overly happy with your service the link to your listing where they can submit a review.

well no offence but for

This is great to moderate reviews, so you can filter out the negative ones and respond to them in a private manner. But you won't be able to put those reviews up on Google Places which is the aim, since it helps you in your Google Places rankings.

The best way is to find the clients that really happy with you and then ask for them to post a review on your Google Places listing if isn't to much trouble for them. If they say no then its not a problem.

But be careful where you ask for reviews from for your places listing as someone who wasn't happy might post it up there.

I have hosted all my sites on USA hosting - Bluehost but recently i have decided to try host some of my local sites on some UK hosting.

I have signed up to HostNine, the reseller account so I can switch between USA servers and UK servers for different type of sites.

I also found webfusion but wasn't sure about them, i went with HostNine instead.

UK hosting sucks compared to USA hosting services

The best thing to do if you get bad reviews (true of false) is to respond to it in a properly of course, but you should try to bury the reviews with good ones. So try to get customers/clients that you know is happy with your work/service to help you out with a review on Google Places.

Well that isn't 100% correct.

There are ways but they are called blackhat.. These are spammy types of links. Although its not really instant its a lot faster than normally link building/seo, depending on your competition it can be instant.

This is short term type of seo. Its for quick rankings.
