This is the first time I have seen objective information on almost anything you look at. I gave it four stars only because I've only used it for a short amount of time.

Suspicious reviews
September 12, 2018

First off I generally support this site and believe the concept is good of getting feedback about other sites. However, I am concerned about the process to verify reviews are legit.

I have read many "positive" reviews about sites that I know about, that just are the complete opposite of what I know to be true. My only conclusion is that the reviewers must be "planted" to bolster the sites reputation. I am not sure how Sitejabber verifies these people are true customers with honest reviews, but I am confident many of the reviews are fake.

Hi David, we understand that fake reviews are a huge concern. 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 we rely on our community to flag suspicious content. Honest, authentic reviews on Sitejabber are at the heart of what we do – both the positive and negative ones.

Seriously? I can't change my email address in my account settings? The only way is to delete my entire account and all of the reviews i've written (only 1, now 2, but still) and start a new account with the email address I use now? I guess I'll just unsubscribe from everything and forget I ever had the account, so my reviews can stay up after I'm gone.
Oh the irony of writing a bad review for a site review site.

Poof all gone...
June 29, 2018

In the middle of writing a review and your site refreshed and I lost all that typing. I did not do it so somewhere between here and there something happened.
Perhaps an autosave feature along with a go live button might help.
OH well.

Here's what sitejabber does:

1) Wait for a regular citizen (such as myself) to leave a poor review for a web site
2) Send an email to said web site saying, "You got a poor review. You'd better check it out! If you pay us $400, we'll start the process of ideally getting the poor review(s) removed.
3) My poor review disappears, except for when I'm logged in, thus giving me the illusion that people can see my review.
4) I complain to sitejabber, who acts all innocent and claims a glitch, and they put my review back up.
5) A day or so later, lo and behold, my review is gone again.

Hi Meg, we know this is from a while ago, but we appreciate the opportunity to provide some clarity. Businesses cannot pay to remove negative reviews, and reviews can only be removed if they violate terms (see https://www.sitejabber.com/faq#fake).

If you can’t see your review when logged out, this is likely due to our Review Filter and algorithm that attempts to display only authentic content by screening certain reviews. It’s applied to every review, positive or negative. 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. We apologize for any inconvenience regarding that review. If you have further questions, feel free to reach out at [email protected].

Apple products are horrible anyway, but honestly i have used them and don't mind them. It is however very unfortunate as much as you site jabbing apple lovers want it to be number one it is no where close. Horrible a site rating site just lets people pay to be on top of the listing. The put apple as number one under electronics? Um the rating is like a 3 and a half if your lucky. This site is pathetic. So is corporate companies like apple get the F over yourselves! And best buy aka worst buy ever is number 3 hahah i doubt they have anywhere close to that high of ratings. Rip off companies paying other rip off companies to make believe each other is number one. Its a high five high jack move if ya ask me.

Hi there, we appreciate the opportunity to address this. The businesses featured in each category are based on a wide variety of factors, including star rating and number of reviews. Businesses cannot pay to be ranked higher.
