Google is doing nothing about review manipulatio

I agree with Max Minzer. An industry of fake reviewers is laughing at you, Google. No doubt the people doing the right thing will be shafted as usual. Max Minzer originally shared: Yelp just took review manipulation alerts to another level for mass and extensive manipulation. Now hiding reviews and displaying a "Reputation Warning" alert and evidence on deceptive listings.

I say "Go, Yelp!"
Google is doing nothing about review manipulation.

P.S.
Business owners, there are better ways to go about getting reviews for your local business (most people, esp. those who had a great experience, simply forget) than incentives and threats. Yelp Official Blog: Consumer Protection Initiative Uncovers Shady Group of Movers
