Alexa Rank More Important Than PageRank
PageRank is fast becoming meaningless as a way to judge the value of a page. It doesn't take into account the amount of traffic the page gets, which I think is a big signal for a search engine. Traffic measuring sites like Alexa are a good way to judge a website. The higher the traffic, the more influential it is. It's a basic signal, but one you can't get away from. If the home page of a site is PR1 but has a decent Alexa score, as opposed to a PR4 home page with low Alexa score, I'd judge the former as being far more valuable than the latter.

Trust is very important to convince someone to buy anything from your website. One way to win trust is to put all your cards on the table and show feedback from your previous customers.
The puresilva e-commerce website solution has a feedback facility built in, so buyers can give feedback on quality of product, service, speed of delivery and value for money - as well as leave comments.
There's no such thing as 'perfect feedback' - even if you delivered the perfect product with perfect customer service at an an unbelievably low price, you will still get some unsatisfied customers - because it's all about perception - and perception is subjective.
If you receive 100 feedbacks, and 97 were generally happy/very happy with 3 dis-satisfied - in our opinion it's better to show all 100 feedback comments. This adds integrity to ALL of the comments by not editing out any of the negative ones.
Having said that, the puresilva feedback facility allows you to play editor to customer feedback in terms of what comments to show. You cannot control the feedback on quality of product, value for money, speed of delivery and value for money.
