Yelp sounds like a good idea. I'm surprised someone didn't think of this earlier.

Yelp is my go to place when looking for businesses; all businesses should take advantage and get listed-it is great!

I really enjoy how Yelp is full of info, like Wikipedia, but it also allows everyone to leave reviews and personal experiences. Yelp has been great for choosing businesses for myself, so everyone needs to be listing their business there, too!

Hi Jay I really agreed with you! Yelp is a good one for leaving and reading reviews . I have nice experience with Yelp. One can improve their business through Yelp. Thank you for your post !

I'm a huge fan of Yelp. It's going to be my guide when I move to Phoenix in 3 weeks.

Could not believe that there are over 9,500 listings in Yelp for my little corner of the country in Augusta, Georgia. Let my yelping begin! Thanks for this Jay. Nice to have a pleasant, non confrontational post from you! Let's me know you didn't get too eaten up with all the agent genius and other site stuff going on over the last week regarding NAR.

Totally agree that Yelp is a great site, however, their automated "quality control" system seems to arbitrarily remove reviews it deems "suspicious". Many people, including me, have had issues with them removing legitimate reviews. Hopefully they can work out the kinks, but in the meantime, Yelp is still a very useful tool to find great local businesses and it's also becoming a great source of business for us as customers find our reviews there.

That's very cool, bit like wikipedia but for reviews. Always cool to have a real person's review before you go to a new restaurant or something.

Nice recommendation Jay. Never occurred to me to add our business to Yelp.

Yelp has an excellent application for the iPhone.

You can search for places to eat, etc based on your current location. You can start a phone call by clicking on the number included in the information about the place you are viewing.

Yup, I agree, Yelp is pretty darn cool. I have seen a couple of the presentations that Gabi K. does about Yelp and continue to be impressed. Glad to find another friend for reviews.

I have yelped and I also rate on google, too. I've rated other professionals and businesses in the area.

Yes I Yelp, and you're right, it's wicked cool! Thanks for reminding me I should write a few more reviews ;-D

I don't Yelp... yet... but I do look at Yelp reviews before, during, or after an experience. I especially like the integration Walkscore did with Yelp reviews which my IDX solutions provider has incorporated into every listing view.

I really should sign up for a Yelp account, myself. My reviews of places tend to be short and sweet tweets. However, if the world was full of leeches there'd be no content to read, right?

I really enjoy finding new businesses to work with on Yelp; definatly need to use the reviews more.

those sites like Yelp and Wikipedia will always have a high rank, cause people are in love with reviews

I really enjoy Yelp to find new businesses in my area with high reviews-it is so much better than wasting time trying to figure out who is good on my own!

I need to remember to write more reviews on Yelp; it is a GREAT place

Hi Jay I really agreed with you! Yelp is a good one for leaving and reading reviews . I have nice experience with Yelp. One can improve their business through Yelp. Thank you for your post !

I'm a huge fan of Yelp. It's going to be my guide when I move to Phoenix in 3 weeks.

I really enjoy checking and leaving reviews on Yelp; it is such a great central place to go and find info and anything and everything you are interested in. I really enjoy checking out restaurants the most.

I signed up for it about a month ago because I saw it being indexed in the search engines for another brokerage in my area. I just hope that nobody gives my brokerage any bad reviews :)

I agree Yelp is a fantastic tool and getting your business listed is just another key to a completed marketing puzzle-everyone should get on and add their business and do some reviews.

That's very cool, bit like wikipedia but for reviews. Always cool to have a real person's review before you go to a new restaurant or something.
