Www.drzahrahakim.com......We are experiencing unfair treatment from Yelp also. Our business has some negative reviews posted on Yelp which as a public business is regrettable but par for the course. The reviews are either fictitious or innaccurate, but hey thats free speech.......However, any and I mean any of the many positive reviews our clients leave for us are removed by Yelp. How can they validate the negative reviews more highly than the positive ones.
Also how can they remove these negative reviews and include the positive ones for a 299$ a month fee. Is this tax deductable?? We are very saddened by Yelp. Also very saddened and hurt by the negative reviews but with Yelp's participation we are getting scared to turn the computers on. If you have similar a experience we would like to hear from you. Contact webmaster@extraordinarysmile.net.
Also have you noticed there is no front end to Yelp, no direct contact page. Also have you noticed the language used on the site for guidelines and use is also confrontational and inflamatory.
It is fine in our age for programmers to develop social utility sites, there are a plethora of them with Facebook, Myspace, Twitter et. al. But Yelp comes across as independant, aggressive and sadly of the impression it is above the law.
We are deeply concerned about Yelp. Minus a million stars so far.
