Yelp and its Payola Business Model!

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

For those of you who are not familiar with yelp its a website of user reviews of products and services.
The goal is for users to hear feedback on others experiences. The problem here is that this site is an enemy to the business owner and really a facade of a friend to the user. We have added links to our reviews that have mysteriously disappeared from yelp.

Reviews on this site are very suspect, disappearing from the site for no reason and business owners are constantly called to buy advertising and shall they dare decline all their reviews are suddenly missing from their profile the next day. Furthermore yelp sticks to its party line of a proprietary automated system of deleting reviews when this system of reviews is so clearly is manipulated by humans.

In my opinion, as long as you buy advertising from these legal mafioso the world is your oyster, we have heard that they will delete negative reviews, have their staff write fake positive reviews and continually penalize business owners as well as users by making reviews disappear for nor reason.

How can one trust a site like this when reviews are like ghosts reappearing and disappearing with no reason or timeline.
Just so you don’t think this was written as a personal gripe against the company after having our reviews disappear so we included a few links below from respected publications.
