I know that many bloggers and internet marketers are trying to keep up with the latest Google updates to increase their business visibility. I have been asked a few times about how I implemented ratings to the blog reviews. If you are already here then I think you also want to implement Google rich snippets for reviews into your blog.
There are two ways to do this, the hard way and the easy way!
The hard way where you have to code and style to implement hreview in your WordPress theme, and the easy way where you simply install a plugin that gives you that power. So let me make things easy for you.
I’ve announced the under development product reviews plugin for Thesis Themes at ThesisAwesome.com blog, it’s a simple plugin that allow you to easily insert Google Rich Snippets for reviews and ratings to your posts and show rating stars in search results.
I call it the Thesis Theme Review Plugin.
Reviews examples
Here are a few examples of reviews I’ve made on the blog recently, and also some other reviews that I’ve updated from the past, you may look at them or search for them in Google and see how things looks like in the search results:
- Revenue Engine
- CommentLuv Premium
- PopUp Domination
- Engagement From Scratch
- Headway 3.0
- CurationSoft
- Market Samurai
- Gravity Forms
Also, notice the sidebar widget which has a list of recent reviews that I made especially for the plugin.
The future of Thesis Theme Review Plugin
As you can see from its name, the Thesis Theme Review Plugin works only with Thesis Themes, and it will be released as part of my ThesisAwesome.com membership site, this means if you are already a member and you did purchase any of my Thesis Child Themes, then you will have access to download the plugin for a very affordable price, plus the freedom to install it on any of your blogs. However, you also can purchase the plugin individually at a good low price.
Note: I don’t sell you a bunch of codes and files, I sell you my support, which means my time, so you are not actually paying me to download the plugin, but to get support and upgrades.
I will be updating you more on prices and when the plugin will be released for the public, this should’t take a lot of time. But for now I need beta testers, so keep reading.
Become a beta tester
I’ve already tested out the Thesis Theme Review Plugin here on the blog and some other blogs, I need to do more testing before releasing it, I need beta testers who are willing to provide feedback and help me out to test the plugin on different blogs with different layouts, this is great for the development process and your help should make it a better plugin.
I am going to accept only 5 -10 beta testers, so if you are willing to install and use the plugin on your blog help me test it out, and provide feedback, it might be yours for free.
Want to be a beta tester? contact me now.
One last thing, it’s a good idea to join my affiliate program before releasing the plugin, this may help you make extra money.

Thesis looks better and better with every article i read about it – and i read a lot lately. I’m not one to pay for good looks, i like to get my hands dirty in the coding and i prefer simple themes.
But if Thesis also gets on the good side of Google with this review plugin… well the numbers change and i might reconsider it.
Hesham Zebida January 25, 2012 at 6:57 am
Hi Stan, I am coding the plugin to work with any WordPress theme!
Dave January 22, 2012 at 4:33 pm

Looks like a great plugin and a very welcome addition to Thesis theme. Would love to try it out if you are still looking for beta testers. If not I guess I’ll have to wait to try. Best of luck with it.

That is a quality plugin, is it free? If it is a premium one then I might have to ask someone to buy it for me for my birthday.

Hi Dean,
The plugin will be free only for ThesisAwesome.com developer and personal account holders.
P.S. maybe it’s a good idea to upgrade your BlogSkin now as the new version has many enhancements, contact me.
Tushar January 16, 2012 at 3:57 am
Congrats for the new development Hesham. Will be very handy for Thesis Theme users.
mitz January 16, 2012 at 1:01 am
Looks like a great plugin Hesham! I am using an Elegant them with something similar which I did not want to do.. A plugin for Thesis would be much better!

The question is … Would you invest your time running after Google, or you would consider that as a waste of time?
Dave Doolin January 15, 2012 at 7:37 pm
Great to see you starting make some serious waves on the development side, Hesham. Plugins are loads of fun to develop.
If you’re still accepting beta testers, shoot me a zip file, I’ll run it through the WordPress best practice checklist I’ve been compiling for the last 18 months, and shoot it back with a copy of my Fast WordPress Plugins report (which of course has the best practice checklist!).
I’ve started using Josh’s Thirsty Affiliates plugin regularly. Josh deserves to sell *loads* of these, it’s really good. For anyone reading this comment, if you read my review below, please purchase through Hesham’s review here on Famous Bloggers: http://www.famousbloggers.net/thirsty-affiliates.html

Hesham Zebida January 16, 2012 at 2:27 am
Hey Dave, I just realized that I could develop more of my work into plugin instead of developing skins and child themes, more fun and probably more satisfied clients.
This would be great, I will send it over. I appreciate it.
Yes, Josh has done great job, Thirsty Affiliates simply became one of my favorite plugins!
Dave Doolin January 16, 2012 at 10:11 am
Josh knocked it out of the ballpark.
Check your email, you have a load of attachments coming.
Hesham Zebida January 16, 2012 at 10:45 am
WOW, you are super quick! And, amazing!
I really appreciate it David, I will have to look into it the first thing when I wake up, I am still awake since yesterday working on some stuff, I can not believe it’s 9:44 am already here!
