Mywot.com is a scam. Groups of organized trolls will rate any site down without providing any evidence. The site doesn't offer any mechanism to dispute the findings. The reviews tend to offer poor ratings to sites of alternative views or non conforming to main stream ideas.
This website tools help me to find the trusted website by online users keep up the good work cheers!
These guys do not provide any recourse for web site owners to challenge ratings nor any transparency around how ratings were given. Some members are able to rate multiple times and if you're on someone's wrong side it can be open to abuse. So many of the sites I trust are rated poorly and some questionable sites are rated high, Goes to show, things aren't always what they appear - especially on mywot.com
Mywot is a scam based site. All the reviews given by their member are either paid or baseless. Mywot don't take up any responsibility against such comments or rating.
There are ample proof against their gold and platinum members for posting paid reviews or posting useless comment just to increase post count. But unfortunately they dont realize that their false rating are ruining someone business.
Is there any way to complaint against this site to stop the spam and take it down?
Users and Webmasters beware! Users receive no protection, just biased reviews and false claims. Webmasters do not submit your website here. You will be slandered by the community.
Serious joke. Every website i search has bad ugly reviews. It doesn't make sense. I've been using these sites for ages and never seen any child unsafe, spammy etc material on them.
This site offers no protection and does not do what it claims. High rated users and mods attack with comments and negative reviews. Search Google about myWOT and you will find endless complaints about Web of Trust.
This service accused my website in referrer spam. All mywot's reviews is inappropriate, i can send "referrer spam" to any website using this code - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/*******/php-referer-redirect-script. Any webmaster can discredit competitors by referrer spam.
Farewell to WOT!
WOT is a strange Internet project. They declares they fight against scam, do you believe them? I'm not!
I had the account with WOT some time ago. Everything was right but once I put the comment against famous Russian scammer reg.ru. It wasn't my emotions I had the evidences. The day after as I published my comments my WOT account was blocked, the reason - duplicate accounts. Ha-ha! I had one account only!
If WOT protects scammers they must declare it!
I said farewell to WOT. Don't trust them!
Mywot is pure scam. If youre website is rated bad you have to deal on their forum with "professional" unemployed loosers wich never had any success in their live. But there they are able to judge about successful siteowners who try to make a living with hard work. Btw. Here you can rate Mywot back: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wot-safe-browsing-tool/
Troll paradise! Used by trolls to give your website bad ratings. 100% useless
The company needs to moderate things better. People spam the same thing over and over. Just a bad way to find a good company to go with.
Complete scam! They try to extort webmasters to purchase the "web of trust badge" for $500 a year.
Scam site! Not professional. They will banned account after several days although they are unique and real from different person or IPs. Why people must index their website here? Waste time! Avoid Mywot!
Complete scam BEWARE. Do not install or submit your website here. They will bash you and try to ruin your reputation for fun. Offers no safety.
I first went to this website to leave a comment for another website that was false reported. This then brought attacks to my website. I dont see a way to have your website's reputation improved after their high level users slander it. You will just be marked as spam if you try to comment favorably. Support does nothing to help. They do more on here to try and hide these comments.
Was a useful website in the beginning. Now full of wrong ratings. I don't recommend it to anyone.
After reading about the others who have had similar experiences with mywot I would say I am no different. Same abuse and damage to my small business reputation which is clearly unfair and undeserved. I joined their forum last week and after trying to find a way to correct the problem, I experienced a whole new level of bad support from their staff (or moderators). Very soon it became clear this was not a problem with my site but a problem with mywot itself. It's an intentional ploy by mywot and they are doing this on a mass scale.
I've joined a group and our purpose is to share our findings with each other and amplify our message. Mywot refused to hear our polite requests, so now we will shout on the web. Starting with ripoffreport, google and other sites like http://mywot-scam.tumblr.com and http://dukeo.com/mywot-web-of-trust-review-modern-web-totalitarism/ the message is starting to get out there.
One every forum including their own I'm tired of hearing them "lol" every negative comment, instead of realizing there is truth to the problem. I can understand that raters don't have long term vested interest, but their management should be hearing this loud and clear and doing something about it.
WOT - MyWot.com is a total scam. They have a insider group of people their job is to just give out negative ratings to site -- without even reviewing them.

If something does not suit their own agenda, they give it negative ratings. They were not able to get "WOT.com" domain so they gave it negative rating. Any site that expose them they give it negative rating. Competitor sites, you guessed it right, negative ratings. If anyone leaves negative rating about MyWot, they delete those ratings. This is not a democratic system by the users, it is a system that is run by a handful of powerusers that don't have any credibility. What a bunch of jokers.
I was attacked by the same usual suspects... After spending a considerable amount of money trying to figure out who's who... I learned many of the super users are in fact mywot.com employees. These employees go out and search for websites to rate negatively. Moreover, these same employees of mywot.com have become members of other more viable and trustworthy reputation websites. For example, Username Shazza on Mywot.com is also username Sharons on SiteAdvisor.com who is paid to negatively rate people on mywot.com, then go to other reputation websites and negatively rate them there too very similar to the rating on mywot.com. Why? So that mywot.com's credibility is consistent with other reputation websites... Username Superhero58 is another employee of mywot.com, Username cg is another employee of mywot.com... The list goes on and on, though those are the names I can recall off the top of my head... I now have confirmed 32 super users being paid by mywot.com to go after various websites.
Anyways, I learned quite a bit about this company, and none of it was good... Facebook.com is a big player in mywot.com, mainly due to all of their privacy issues. So they are more or less using wot to boost their reputation. Mywot & facebook have a partnership (just in case you didn't know)... I was even threatened a suit would come my way if I publicized the info I obtained. As they can see, I'm not all that scared of them!
