SiteJabber Reviews – Why you can't trust SiteJabber
And it's not just SiteJabber, but that site seems especially hit with bogus reviews. The problem with review sites like SiteJabber is that they allow anyone to post reviews, and there is no check as to who the person is. You get a lot of negative reviews posted by competitors, and then when a negative review comes in, you get the actual company contradicting the negative review with a positive review and you end up in a circle of fake reviews.
SiteJabber is bold to say their site helps to prevent fraud when their site is one of the biggest fraud mediums.
So beware people, review sites aren't what they are cracked up to be... they are there to make a profit, and as long as there are page views the false reviews will keep popping up.
Make educated decisions by looking at various sites and trying to pick out reviews that seem real, and are from members that have been there for a while. Yelp is a much better source for this, but Yelp doesn't review sites, they review businesses.
Until SiteJabber cleans up their act, I say stay away.
