    How is that any of your business? Seriously, just ignore them. I don't put any stock into reviews unless they come from people I respect.

    I do positive reviews in public and negative ones in private.

    When Bob does a great job, I say "Bob did great!" loudly in front of everyone.

    When he screws up, I pull him aside and mutter "Bob, seriously, what the hell?" in a nice out-of-the-way location.

    So if Bob's a big screwup, and only occasionally does a great job, you'll only see me stand up in front of everyone and say "Bob did great!" now and then. And you'll go off and grumble with everyone else about how most of the time, Bob's just a big screwup, but I never say that at the morning meeting. But every time Bob screws up, I'm still off in the corner saying "seriously, what the hell?" about it... I just don't embarrass him in front of everyone.

      LOL.

      No, no naming names here.

      You know, I don't seem to leave negative reviews much, but perhaps that's because I do my homework before buying something - ask questions - and only buy things I can really use somewhere.



      Maybe you've just encountered a lot of smart buyers.

    I know what and to some extent the "group" of people you are talking about, and I somewhat agree with you.

    There are some out there that "review" multiple products per day in exchange for getting all the products for free. That's not a review....

    I created a one step program that will end the habit of serial reviewing forever...

    1. Be honest and post just one bad review for a product that truly sucks that all the other serial reviewers and "me too" affiliates are raving about.

    Sure... it will likely ruin your career as a freebie seeker and you'll likely be flamed...

    But if your like me you will get private messages from top internet marketers thanking you for being honest because they do not have the liberty of being honest and speaking their minds when something sucks.

    Oh, and anyone who thinks that's an exaggeration.... I'd be happy to give you an earful about the art of "plausible deniability" practiced in this market.

      I'd like to get a review copy of that program, and to show you that I plan to follow through, please accept my review in advance.

      I suggest that you jump on this right away, before he comes to his senses and raises the price!

    I'm very active on Yelp and do not provide any 1 star reviews. If I'm in a place I don't like, I don't provide a review. Some of the Yelp Elite community doesn't like this but their views don't direct my life. I review the way I do based on my own values and that's enough for me.

    There's no need to flame anyone publicly, and I think we for the most part recognize the names of the so-called serial reviewers enough not to pay any credence at all to them.

    I think some of the better known ones have become infamous for their cookie-cutter templates where they just insert a few words and phrases here and there to customize it for the review. I think one of them (we all know who he is, but I won't mention names) was called out for being a "review whore" or something along those lines, lol!

    No you can't call them out, and like TMG, I'm wondering how this is any of your business and how we can put a stop to serial whiners?
