WOT Services Ltd

The site markets it self as a fair place for websites to be reviewed. Well, I'm afraid that this aint the case!

The site offers a top 10 reviewers table, which has resulted in huge amounts of negative reviews, on perfectly safe sites.

Their customer service is non-the-better, and they often reply with the default 'please resolve this issue with the reviewer'

Most of the reviews on there are untrue, and shouldn't be trusted.

In short: Stay well away from MyWoT

MyWOT is abusive and criminal. They allow multiple accounts so their rating system is unfair and harmful to your site. Here is a screenshot of a message on "request a site evaluation" PUBLIC FORUM. They claim to evaluated the 'trustworthiness' and 'child safty" of a site. Yet they are biased and judge unfairly. Pictured is the response from one of their demeaning and sarcastic power players..

Yes, I had an attack of malware on my site Net411.com.
Yes, I was happy someone brought it to my attention
Yes, mywot.com had a red circle by my site.
Yes, I went to Google for help in clearing my site.
Yes, I got my site cleared by Google.com

No, mywot.com did not take their red circle from beside my site.
No, mywot.com did not pay any attention to my pleas of removing my site from their red circle list.
No, I do not use mywot.com any longer.
No, I do not trust mywot.com to protect me.
Yes, I feel sorry for the 70, ooo, ooo. Downloaded mywot.com users.

There was nothing bad they could really say about my site, so I imagine they are disappointed. What gave me my lesson was when I asked a SIMPLE QUESTION of their "friendly community." LOL

My 'scorecard' (what a joke) was empty. I asked, "I've read the documentation, and submitted the site for evaluation, and know not to request scorecard reviews, so what DO I do to increase my 'reputation?' " Here was the response.

"Submit your site for evaluation." Rather than say "can you read" I asked if that meant to submit a second time, because this person clearly didn't know how to read. Her response?

"Just once. RTFM."

NICE! And maybe you can learn to RTAFQ (read the actual F*****g question?) I didn't reply, I was done at that point, closed my account, don't care.

WOT and their crowd of elitist big mouths are irrelevant. Seriously. No one uses their software for very long, and no one cares about their opinion-based whining. The only reason I went there was a small minor search engine linking to my site made a mention of them. I figured, "why not." Stupid choice.

Think about the bullies that used to beat up the weak in high school and the cheerleaders that grew into miserable human beings, have five kids and hate their lives so badly they can't suffer anyone else to succeed. They all wound up working for WOT.

I don't care too much for this sites system at all! I purchased a domain just to find out later the WOT had already had reviews on it before I ever purchased the site. The reviews were negative so of course my site has started out with the warning category. I contacted them and explained to them that I had just purchased it is there anyway they could adjust the reviews from the date I purchased the site and they told me no because there was no way to verify when I purchased it and that if I wanted a positive review I would have to get people to register with them and let them add positive reviews. I contacted them again and told them I can send all the documents in to them about it such as when I registered the business with the city and state and also the documents for the date the domain was purchased by me but this time they were rude about it and told me I already told you once if you want your review to become positive send people here to register and have them review you. So since then I have just let it go and I really could care less what it says because with that type of message who is to say a really great site with tons of positive reviews doesn't sell their domain and a real scam site move in there and everyone trusts that the site is great off of the reviews WOT has listed!?!?!? I mean really it works both ways! So I don't recommend them to anyone!

The Web of Trust does not seem to protect people from dangerous sites but rather seems to have a forum with a few anonymous trolls who want to censor the web to say the things they want the web to say. In my opinion the internet already does this work really well. Online scams, untrustworthy links, and unreliable web stores are already outed in forums and with word of month in other communities across the web.

WOT in comparison looks to others like censorship on the web. One small group of peoples' opinion over the majority.

My site was labeled as one that scams people out of money. I'm one of the most successful online instructors on Udemy the market leading online learning site. I have 65,000 students who have taken my course would disagree and they have voluntarily posted over 700 positive reviews. This is the community's opinion.

We don't need a self-appointed internet police who claim to represent a community but actually act only upon their own narrow prejudices and flawed, misinformed opinions. The internet is already "self policed" by Google PageRank, Alexa rank, domain authority, etc., these are real matrices based on fact. Not misrepresentations of one or two individuals.

After reading about the others who have had similar experiences with mywot I would say I am no different. Same abuse and damage to my small business reputation which is clearly unfair and undeserved. I joined their forum last week and after trying to find a way to correct the problem, I experienced a whole new level of bad support from their staff (or moderators). Very soon it became clear this was not a problem with my site but a problem with mywot itself. It's an intentional ploy by mywot and they are doing this on a mass scale.

I've joined a group and our purpose is to share our findings with each other and amplify our message. Mywot refused to hear our polite requests, so now we will shout on the web. Starting with ripoffreport, google and other sites like http://mywot-scam.tumblr.com and http://dukeo.com/mywot-web-of-trust-review-modern-web-totalitarism/ the message is starting to get out there.

One every forum including their own I'm tired of hearing them "lol" every negative comment, instead of realizing there is truth to the problem. I can understand that raters don't have long term vested interest, but their management should be hearing this loud and clear and doing something about it.

For a Finnish company, this is completely bogus. How can people fall for this? Web of Trust, yeah right. Web of Turd is more like it. Well, just as soon as I looked up FeministFrequency.com from their website, the site rating is rigged possibly by multiple accounts of the same user. I am sure feminists and the web of turd users are the real trolls here, not anybody else. My posts get thumbs down quick and I had to delete 'em. SiteJabber and Trust My Web are all I have. It is hilariously pathetic that MyWOT is trusted by their own community from the site rating, all 95/100. Seriously? The only best way to not trust WOT services is to DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT. You can simply delete it in your profile settings from the MyWOT forums.

If anybody opposes my opinion seriously, I pity you and feel sorry for you, so sorry that you're here to conform like therapists and money-making politicians. It's best to stay away from the WOT services. I thought Finland has a clean government, but in reality, the country has a long way to go. The Finnish government cannot get rid of this mess indefinitely. The WOT services is corrupted as JP Morgan and Microsoft. Whatever you do, just don't trust MyWOT. Feel free to spit on their company's floor because we really need to get them off our internet. 1 out of 5 stars.
