Mike Blumenthal shared an incredible tip at SEMpdx SearchFest 2011 regarding creating a shortcut to Google Reviews input box. Shortcut to your Google places page: http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=17890642534106265499 You can truncate the very long, awful main URL. Better still, link directly to the input box for reviews: http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=17890642534106265499&dtab=2&action=openratings&ct=write-review Note the addition of &dtab=2&action=openratings&ct=write-review Awesome!
