    Hey,
    I know this site Buy Yelp Reviews | Get Positive Yelp Reviews | Buy Reviews on Yelp | Yelp Reviews sells Yelp reviews. Also get a second opinion about this...

    You can always buy reviews but it just wont seem too legit. I sell followers or fans but reviews are difficult to sell as it is very subjective.

    Personally if it is a real business why not just ask for reviews from your best customers? Though yelp has a habit of not posting positive reviews.

    No offense to yelp but who really uses it? I mean on google I understand since you search on google but how many people really go to find a place on yelp? The review page on yelp may show up in a google search but if someone is searching for you that hard you likely gave them a reason not to trust you.

    It's always good to get one or two up. It creates content and encourages others to post reviews. The pages rank very high in Google usually. The reviews I do are very legit.

    3 reviews for $70+?? I would hope they seem very legit for that price.

    You can also erase bad reviews by paying Yelp just like you can buy an A rating with the BBB

    Don't buy reviews... just shady. Ruins it for other legitimate businesses out there.

    I've been an avid Yelper (Elite) for years now. I can tell you 100% for sure that it is against their Terms Of Use for you to use fake or paid reviews.

    Why would you even want to buy Yelp reviews? Just ask your happy customers to write them for you. Geez.

      So if someone offered you $400 to post an Elite review for their business you would say no?

        On craigslist in my area I see a few ads where people offer to pay someone for reviews. It doesn't specifically say Yelp but it does want reviews for their business. I believe some reviews there though are filtered and not visible unless you click on a specific link.

        I would, actually. But that's because I care a lot about building a great reputation online as a person who can't be bought. That's way more valuable than you might believe.

    I don't think this is the right way to promote your business. I would advice better work hard on how to improve your services and satisfy customers. Review your activities which you carried out to make your customers happy...give them discount for sharing their review...if its negative get in touch with them and try to sort out the problem. If you are in restaurant business just offer them free meal on any day and in return ask them if they would change the review or post new positive review.

    Try to think how your customers think and focus on real customers and their review instead of trying how to avoid fake reviews and posting buying fake reviews
