Take a look at this Yelp business: http://www.yelp.com/biz/morgan-automotive-portland http://www.yelp.com/biz/morgan-automotive-portland
It has 33 5-star reviews that are "unapproved", and eight 1-star promoted reviews that amount to a 2 star overall rating. I'd say that's an undeserved bad reputation. And no matter how many good reviews there are, the 1-star ratings are still the only ones weighing in.
In comparison, Google review page has a near perfect 5-star non-curated rating - https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=morgan%20automotive&lrd=0x54950a7dcd2c2e11:0xb14667c1f6e992a6,1 https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&e...
The real kicker here is that to get to these 5 star Yelp reviews, you have to navigate a barely legible grey link at the bottom of the page. Purposefully hiding good reviews until the business pays for membership borders extortion to me.
- raverbashing 11y agoThanks for this example I see 1 5-star, 4 2-stars, 3 1-star, the rest is closed Now, if you see the hidden reviews, there are a lot of "5-star" ones (which are really 3 or 4 star) but a lot of 1-star ones as well A lot of them are from people with a few friends (however, a lot of them seem to come from "high-quality" posters) Well, Yelp better watch out if Google can give a better result
