Platform: User Reviews

The Semantic Web

In order for search engines and other automated content readers to pick up user ratings and understand that is what they are we have implemented RDF formatting on our user rating averages.

RDF formatted user rating now possible (see www.w3.org/RDF/)

The basic format of our user rating averages is:


    

        5/5

             based on 4 user reviews of 

            Lakeside House @ Old Church Lane

Example: Let In Edinburgh.

Smarter Page Replacements

We are trialling smarter page replacements.

Page replacements allow text within a page to change depending upon syndicate and now also upon search arguments.

Currently using Regular Expressions (eek!) to match URLs... we promise to make it more friendly as more of our clients use this feature.

If you are interested in using page replacements on you site, get in touch!
