Right now it may not make a big difference in traffic since I doubt many are using the fairly new Technorati indexer to search for real reviews. There aren't many sites out there that are indexing them yet either that I know of. But it will become a huge problem and a giant mess if things aren't set in place to prevent hreview fraud/spam. I've dropped a few notes here and there with queries about such concerns so we'll see if I turn up anything. Eventually what it may come down to is using personal indexing methods and subscribing to certain reviewers etc. So, pretty much what we do right now with feeds.
