All my real reviews got zapped for no apparent reason. Not sure if google’s algorithm confused them with fake reviews.

Have you guys tried http://karmareviews.com? It’s an review exchange site. I don’t think people give fake reviews tho. I got some great reviews there.

You can report those reviews to Google, AND as the owner, you can respond to each of them from your Places page.

What happens when a company goes and buys fake reviews for your site?

I was just reminded about this article by an email notification. Quite a lot of things have changed since it was written, but it seems the majority of the problems persist. An interesting retrospective view

Your article is more an alert than just a script about fake reviews. Giving knowledge about google’s filtering fake reviews is great.Though spammers have to be tackled. Its more a moral responsibility. A great script. Thank you.

Hi I too think that Google is trying to halt the fakes like have new users verify by a telephone call or text. But I think it is still going to be a long haul to halt everything.

As google evolves and becomes smarter and smarter,i think that if you are proud of your business and you think that most of yuor customers are happy . . .then it shouldnt be a problem to ask your customers to write a review about your business.

Problem isn’t that Google knows if its fake or not. Its when your potential customers read a fake review – negative or positive- and believe it 100% – good and bad

Fake never wins only the original wins in long run
