I believe there's a review tag code that you can put in so search engines know this is a review, does anyone know what it is? Considering I'm using Wordpress is it possible to do this, and does it have any effect on the SEO?

Also these reviews can be long two paragraphs but most are 2-3 short sentences. I'm posting them using posts in Wordpress, if I accumulate 300 pages worth, will Google discredit my site for a ton of pages with no content for the customer review section?

Thanks.

    Microformats can have seo implications as Google can display your SERPs in a different way but in your case I don't think it really matters.

    I could see making them posts but why give them individual pages? Just make a category page that list 10-20 reviews per page if they are going to be that short.

    Microformats don't help rankings but it's good for seo and click through rate and you are providing more info for your users.

    If you have many pages that are less than 150 words then Google will flag and dump your site. They seem to be having a good clear out of empty sites recently and one of my video sites got pulled, wmt message and filtered/penalised.
