Just read it. I spent a lot of time gathering that data. They have fixed some of it, but whether out and out black hat tactics and unethical behaviour…. that algorithm is a joke. It was made with a monkey, 3 babies, duct tape, and some Popsicle sticks.

They used to encourage business owners to write reviews about their business, and many owners took advantage of that option since yelp refused to allow them any other way to address the public. This guy wrote a review before the terms of service changed, so the review should be left in place. Yelp clearly removed his review in retaliation for not advertising, and that crap will be the end of yelp. Looking forward to it.

Yelp is an abomination, and is guilty of numerous unfair and dishonest business practices, among them blackmail.

Tards.

They’re trying to get businesses to pay so they can monetize.

LAME but that’s what all start ups are going through these days.

I don’t post anymore.
