Here's how easy it is to buy positive on-line reviews for a company

On Google and Facebook, the profile photos of the reviewers helped expose many

"What they'll do is they'll create their account, do a Google search for headshots and when they're doing that to add it to their account, they'll get famous people by mistake," Brown said. On Amazon, one reviewer had posted 676 book reviews in the past six months — every single one of them was four or five stars out of five. Many had the same generic text and a similar headline:"I really liked it!"

While the speed and volume with which the gardening business garnered raves may be shocking, Brown said the problem is common and out of control.In statements, Facebook, Google, Amazon and Yelp all said they are aware of the problem and have protocols in place to actively monitor and remove fake reviews. They also said the public can help end the problem by flagging suspicious reviews.Typos or broken English – many fake reviewers are based in foreign countries.

Look who is talking. Hey Clean your own mess from annoying clickbait spam and put legit ads on your site.

cfarivar Haha funny read your own ads below your own article on your own site. Those are not ads from legitimate companies doing legit business. Those ads are clickbait spam , typically with catching title leading you via many links to a page to finally get your credit card.

I also had trouble getting my personally provided reviews posted for my proprietary hair elixir. This may be due to excessive flowery language to which I am fond of using.

That's just as easy as buying hundreds of negative reviews against a rival company.

You can only get good reviews from Google, Amazon, and Yelp by paying. I ran into that when trying to advertise for my book. Amazon even wanted me to pay for them to show good reviews by people who has actually bought the book.

Compare that to all the phony memes and political propaganda on social media. The geezers and sociopaths on Facebook eat it up.
