Google Reviews vs Third Party Sites?

1 replies
I'm a noob to Google Places but I'm starting to really dive into it because it's only going to grow. I'm working with a few companies (for free) as I get experience and I'm wondering about the review system.

- Google only shows Google reviews and then links to the other review sites. Do you think a "Google Review" ranking has more weight then a 3rd party review? I'm sure it's healthy to have a mixture but am wondering if it's better to focus on getting google reviews.

- Do more positive reviews push up a listings ranking? I read that once you have 5 reviews Google doesn't care about if you have 5 or 85. It was an interesting article and I'll try to find the link.

Thanks for any help! I'm a mobile web designer and thought Google Places was a nice fit for my services. Now I just need to stop being a baby and get out there!
