    I am not exactly the places master ( I am always asking questions), but I think you might brick your page a bit by getting a bunch of reviews from ip's that are literally half way around the world. If you want this to work, I believe you are going to need to use a proxy, and even then.....

    I think you should leave the location out, as its all about the service and people are looking in a specific area anyway.

    Some reviews don't take, I have a couple of emails that are on the sorbs spam list and alot of the reviews I leave from them don't stick (be it google or something else) there are many factors at work here. Sometimes it just takes time too.

    Sorry about the double post

    My customers can't work out if its 1 or 2 rooms so ip addresses won't matter ,
    unless they are computer programers or bill gates

    It's not your customers you need to worry about, it's google. Ip addresses are geographical. Google would know that you all of a sudden got a bunch of reviews from across the world. It is not a stretch to think they might punish your places page or that.

    They are good at taking money but I dont think they are that smart as people sell stuff
    all over the world from google.
    I sell sprayers all around the place.

    I have left reviews for some of my networking friends and they always have appeared right away. Not sure what is going on.

    Google knows when people on the other side of the world are leaving fake reviews. This is not a wise choice. Also it is dishonest.

    I find if client doesn't post it exactly right with all the steps required it is lost forever. Sucks.

    I am not terribly considered about the honor aspect of this whole thing....but I am only going to say it one more time.... Google knows all. If this worked it would be quite popular to say the least. keep us posted on how this works out.

    You don't have to be a master to know Googles TOS, you just need to know how to read.

    SteveO, what you're wanting to do is against googles TOS and the reviews will be taken down at some point and if they Truely do some digging, expect your places page to be wiped off the map.

    Listen, I know it's not fair and I totally understand as I go through this as well, but, it is what it is. I know you just want to get one up on them since they control it all, but, do you want to cut off the nose to spite the face?

    GL!
