MYWOT.COM Has a POOR Reputation!

www.Mywot.com is anything but a fair and objective rating system. They encourage and allow poor reviews against hundreds of companies in 1 click via their mass rating tools, which certainly leads to inaccurate and malicious ratings. Then they start you out as a bad site so you have to signup and posts rebuttals. They also edit and delete comments that disagree with their so called “super [anonymous] users”, who have no regard for the truth or common decency. And if you protest their false ratings, they will make sure your ranking never goes up no matter how many good reviews you receive.

When I think of Mywot aka “web of trust,” I see 2 crooks dressed like cops with 10 trolls doing their dirty work.

Judge for yourselves. MyWot bashers target U.S. small businesses until they pay up!

 

I have spent 11 years building my business and am now one of their victims as well.

www.Facebook.com partner www.mywot.com is a Finland company that attacks U.S. Based businesses with their mass rating tool that allows poor reviews against 100s of us in 1 click. Im still curious as to why anyone would have the need to complain about 100s of our companies at once, but that seems to be one of the issues pending in court.

Mywots whole business model is a scheme meant to injure U.S. businesses for profit. Heres how it works:

They get as many anonymous posters bashing as many businesses as possible and make them believe they are doing good for the Wot Community. They want unidentified and anonymous posters because asking for identification would discourage false statements, which the business is built on. False postings drive revenue to line their pockets and here is how:

 

When businesses see the bad postings and complain to wot (no phone), they receive an email telling them they have to sign up and post a rebuttal. When that doesnt change the rating, and it doesnt, WOT suggest you have your customers signup too and defend you (how embarrassing). This means the more bad ratings, the more complaints and the more signups. Thus, the reason for the mass rating tool developed in 2008 is to allow their postings to drive more revenues via more unfounded and frivolous opinions. Who cares about the businesses having to ask clients to post a review because someone listed false information to begin with? I promise you MyWot doesnt. They absolutely refuse to investigate false postings because they want them!

 

Businesses are encouraged to pay $500.00 for the MyWot seal of trust once a year. Essentially, I believe, that buys you protection from the mass defamatory postings.

 

MyWots secret rating algorithm is nothing more than a sham. Its terminology they use that gives them an excuse about why there are so many inconsistencies in the rating system that they dont want to explain. They dont want to explain it because they manipulate the ratings behind the scenes, Which is why some businesses that really are shady have good ratings while legitimate companies who havent paid up yet have poor ratings.

 

What MyWot has done It is irresponsible and unforgivable. Any legitimate rating site would (and does) ask for the raters name, phone etc. And theres absolutely no excuse for bashing businesses 100s at a time. Who in the world has a gripe or complaint against 100 companies at a time? Obviously nobody does and for MyWot.com to even offer a tool such as this speaks to their credibility, or lack thereof.

 

Many WOT users have caught on to this scheme, which really isnt that brilliant, and abandoned WOT. And many were temporary users asked by businesses to post the truth about real experiences (not imaginary).

 

I suspect the walls will come crashing down on them soon and have no doubt that 90% of their so called registered users were one time visitors trying unsuccessfully to right the wrong done to them.

When I protested their completely false reviews from 2008 recently, they actually lowered my ratings and removed the good ones. Not only that, every time one of our clients add a good rating, the overall rating still goes down? Thats even though no new lower ratings were posted.

***If they dont like what you say, you will find your comments and ratings are removed.

What www.mywot.com and their users do to businesses is just flat wrong. They know they are posting a lot of false information with no verification at all. Their ratings are very unreliable, if not outright malicious.

    Please note that ratings != comments. The ratings are independent from the comments. A web site can have many good comments and still a bad rating.
