I used to love Yelp. I used to use Citysearch and then it seemed like everyone was switching over to Yelp and so did I. I used it mostly to find good places to eat, the best places to eat since I'm a bit of a foodie. I trusted it. That was until I decided to try a 4 1/2 star rated sushi place in Laguna Beach that turned out to be a total disappointment. I couldn't understand why my experience was so different from all the reviewers who raved about the place. I started feeling like maybe I was the oddball out who didn't know good sushi when I ate it. But I've been eating sushi for years. I scrolled down further on the listing and saw some similar opinions as mine so I knew I wasn't going crazy. I began to question the legitimacy of the reviews on Yelp. I also didn't like how food trucks began showing up at the top of the list for the best places to eat. There were times when 7 of the top 10 food places were food trucks. I just didn't understand that either. So I questioned some more. I don't think it's Yelp's fault. They have simply gotten too big. I do appreciate that they are diligently trying to fight the illegitimate reviews by having the review filter. Although it makes it harder for the legitimate reviews to get through. It's the price I suppose. So yelp for me used to be 5 stars but now it's 3. I think I use them more now just to see what's in the area and will rely on good ol word of mouth for good places to eat from now on.

I purchased some shaving cream from twinluxe.com for my father over the holidays. I had heard about it from my guy friend of mine who has the entire grooming line along with one of the shave sets. He absolutely loves all their products, especially the shaving cream and the spray mist. I went to the website and was immediately blown away at the modern design and clean look of it. It was really easy to navigate and make a purchase. Everything seems professionally done. I wish I could afford one of the beautiful shave sets but it is a bit out of my price range at the moment. I settled for the shaving cream and my father loves it. Excellent company and products.

I have to admit that I didn't know much about online marketing a couple of years ago. But I kept reading about it online and hearing about it from friends who owned businesses. It seemed complicated and tedious to keep up with so like anything that is extremely technical in nature, I brushed it aside and didn't give it much more thought until my sister, who owns a local jewelry store told me she wanted to build her online business. She asked me how to get more traffic to her website and boost her visibility on Google. I really didn't have a clue how she could do this but told her about a friend who used an online marketing company to help them. She was hesitant at first because she didn't want to invest a great deal of money into it. I called up the friend and got the name of the company they used which was 29 Prime. My sister was happy to see that their rates weren't outrageous and decided to give it a try. They guaranteed that my sister's business would show up on the front page of google. It's only been a month but so far, she is really happy with the customer service and what they've been able to do for her. I'm just happy that I was able to help her out even though I wasn't that knowledgeable about the topic. 29 Prime has been so easy to work with and well worth the investment.
