Have any reviewers ever found their reviews in Google indexes? Does Google search and index Viewpoints? I have yet to see one of mine show up in a Google search.

I have found my reviews on Google...either doing a search of my user name or of the products.  The difficulty is when you are searching for one that has a ton of reviews (from Viewpoints or other sites).  When I searched for my Melaleuca Sun Shades lip balm review by the product name, my review was the 4th search result.  But when I searched for a Dove Shampoo review I wrote, I never did track it down, because there are thousands on-line.

I have seen a review of mine show up in a Google search. It can be easily done if you search for something that no one else has reviewed. For example, I wrote reviews of a Remy alternator and Wagner brake pads. By searching on "remy alternator review," my Viewpoints review is the first item in the list. "Wagner brakes review" has my review second in the list.

Viewpoints is definitely crawled by Google (and Yahoo).

A good number of my photos pop up in Google photo searches.

I'm amazed by how well covered my Viewpoints reviews are covered by Google.  This looks like one of the hot review web-sites when it comes to crawling review content.

Mine come up in searches as well. It always surprises me to see that but it makes me happy as well.

Lots of my reviews show up in google. Sometimes I am shocked when I do a search of something and see my review come up. I have seen other people's as well when doing a search. I recently was searching for a picture of something and came across someone's VP review and ended up reading, rating, and buying the product!

I have not searched for my own reviews, but the way I found Viewpoints was when I was trying to find replacement batteries for my digital camera. I typed Fuji FinePix Z20 fd battery in Google, and saw someone else's sound bite for the camera.And the rest, as they say, is history...
