New Reveal: about "Review" websites, especially Yelp
Possibly this is old news for the diligent amongst us?
Reveal


Host Al Letson speaks with Reveal’s Will Evans, who’s been able to gather a trove of injury data from Amazon warehouses that paints a very different picture from what the company tells lawmakers and the public.

Then, Reveal’s Jennifer Gollan reports on the most common type of injury at Amazon and other workplaces, and why the government chose not to try to prevent it.

New I have had several calls from Yelp . . .

Especially when you see a bunch of bad reviews accompanied by a batch of really good reviews, and not much in between, you can be pretty sure the good ones are fake.

I saw one that promised "top ranking on Google" that was getting really bad reviews. The owner asked everyone he knew to post a really good review. He gave them an example to work from. Every one of them just copied the example. Not a really effective campaign.
New Fortunately, the efforts that-simpleminded are obvious, but wtf-do with the others? except punt :-/
