PowerReviews Recognized by Internet Retailer as the Solution Leader in Customer Reviews and Forums

Internet Retailer’s 2009 Top 500 Guide Gives PowerReviews #1 Ranking Based on Its Foothold Among Top 500 Online Retailers

PowerReviews (www.powerreviews.com), a leading provider of customer reviews and social commerce solutions, has been recognized as the customer reviews Solution Leader by Internet Retailer as part of the publication’s 2009 Top 500 Guide. This is the first year Customer Reviews and Forums have been included as a category.

PowerReviews’ ranking is based on a survey by Internet Retailer of its Top 500 retailers. PowerReviews topped the Customer Reviews category with 48 of the Top 500 clients, including Staples Inc. (No. 2), Toys ‘R’ Us Inc. (No. 39) and REI (No. 67).

“We are honored to be recognized by Internet Retailer as a leader in the customer reviews space,” said Andy Chen, CEO of PowerReviews. “We attribute this to the steadily increasing conversion benefits our customers are experiencing from our tag-based review solution and the dramatic traffic increases they are enjoying from our unique In-Line SEO technology.”

Internet Retailer determined the top three vendors in each category based on research published in the Top 500 Guide. Data was gathered from January through April of this year, and the provider rankings are based on the frequency with which providers were cited by merchants in the 2009 Top 500 Guide.
