Came here from curiousity from reviews on a known bad player in the precious metals field: that business has only two types of reviews: 1s and 5s, with all the 5s obviously fake reviews - the truth of this can be backed up by checking BBB complaints - said company is drowning in them, all of which mirror the 1 reviews on their own site and on Sitejabber. Sitejabber also insures their reviews are anonymous: first name and initial. Obviously, Sitejabber simply posts whatever the review is with NO oversight, confirmation, or critical review: this renders Sitejabber essentially worthless unless your intent is to buy from companies which can afford to purchase favorable reviews.

What the hell Sitejabber? Why can't I read another person's reviews? I can see the first part of it, but when I click on it to try and read the rest, nothing opens up, so more than half of a person's comment is missing. So what's the fk'ing point?!

My First time Experience with site jabber! Looks like its a waste of like. I posted my First review. After completing writing they've told it may be great to post a Video review. Which I did. Soon after I got a mail saying it will be approve in 2 Days. Today after 3 Days when I checked my Profile it was not even found there? Like seriously? This was my First and worst Experience with a Review site

I'm only giving it two stars for the fact that it is a good site to review stuff on. However i've noticed a lot of undeserved review activity lately. The fact is that when i go to a review site i want to see what real people have to say not what botted accounts have to say. If you're looking for real reviews look somewhere else.

Hi Dylan, we hear your concern about bot-generated reviews. In fact, the more popular the review platform, the more it attracts fraudulent reviews – and sadly, every prominent review platform is dealing with this. Sitejabber uses sophisticated algorithms to detect patterns of fake reviews, and community members can also flag suspicious content. We appreciate your feedback and are continuously working to improve the quality and authenticity of the reviews on our platform.

I'm happy to sign up for whatever acc necessary to achieve my goal. This however, letting me write the review, add a bunch of details, pretend I can post... and THEN ask for my info? If you're a worthy website why do you need to trick people into writing a review? Get a grip. I made an account just to give this website the review it deserves.

My friend recommended the Sitejabber website to me after I had a bad experience with an online purchase.
I have been referring to all the reviews before I make any purchases online. Thus far, the reviews on this website are spot on and have not steered me wrong.
Highly recommend to all online shoppers.

I have been using Sitejabber for almost a year. As of today, no issues with this review platform.

They do read reviews before posting but they usually get it done in less than hour depending on the time of day.

Good Job!

A typically review website that encourage bad reviews then try to extort businesses for money. For example you need to write a novel to post on here. This is standard of ranting unhappy people, not people that just wish to leave a positive review. No doubt if they're offered money they will "improve your listing" or something like that.

Terrible website and they shouldn't be trusted.

Since posting I've noticed you need to create an account etc, once again something annoyed people will happily do, not so much people that are happy.

Such a disgusting business model.

Hi Joseph, we are sorry you feel that way. Sitejabber uses a Review Filter and algorithm that attempts to display only authentic content for buyers by screening certain reviews. You can learn more at https://www.sitejabber.com/faq#filter.

The same filter and algorithm is applied to every review. The filter isn’t perfect, but it is dynamic and always learning. As a result, you may see reviews move in and out as the filter learns more about the trustworthiness of the reviews of a particular site.
