Every review that I have gotten on Yelp has been deleted. The reviews are up for
a month then they are deleted. I got friends to write reviews, so they are different
IP addresses.

How do you get Yelp reviews to stick?
 
Advertise on BHW
Aged account, filled profile, IP address that matches your profile's hometown, lots of ranging star reviews

No IP's of proxies, vpn's. IP's should be either residential or business.

Pay for advertising, Randy, ... I believe they are being sued for manipulating review results. If you are paying them they will suppress neg reviews or do the reverse as an incentive to be a customer.
 
Yeah, yelp is a serious racket. We had a legit reviews from 60 customers go up, and only 10 stuck. Granted, some of them weren't aged, or had tons of reviews, but it still sucks. We did get a phone call from a Yelp rep asking if we wanted to advertise after we starting getting a bunch of reviews, lol!
 
Yes there is a class action lawsuit against them I believe. They are twisted and will remove bad reviews and not filter your good reviews if you advertise with them. It's something like $300 a month. Yelp sucks. They are putting a lot of small business out of business. I direct all my clients to post reviews on Google or Facebook and not Yelp unless they're active Yelp users.

I need yelp reviews from real accounts. Please contact with me on pm or skype des1slav
 
Umm that's a tricky one. Yelp really does clamp down on the reviews which IMO is a good thing. Maybe educate the client in trying to get people to review them online and why it's good for social authority and Google?

In other news, fake reviews posted anywhere online for Australian businesses will incur legal action against them. There have already been several cases in the news regarding the clamp down on this too.
 
Grabbed this from another forum, where http://www.wickedfire.com/members/dextermorgan.html, a super bright ORM dude puts it down:

Yelp seems to consider the reviewer's overall activity/history. Seems like they look at stuff like:


IP adresses
mobile usage
connecting your Yelp account with your Facebook account
Twitter activity
having a large and active friends "base"
tag activity
"Yelp Check-Ins"
Foursquare activity (mayor)
using "public" bookmarks
how "extreme" the ratings are
"Yelp Elite" activity
a user's review frequency and location in relation to previous data
length of reviews
A LOT more


Yelp values active Yelpers. It sucks because as a business trying to get people to take the time to leave you a review can be hard enough. Now you don't know if those reviews will even make it through the review filter, and you also might need to somehow convince your customer base that they need to be active on Yelp in order for any reviews to have a better chance at sticking in the long-term.


One guy details his experiences trying to get his patients involved on Yelp here, "How You Can Get Around Yelp's Pesky Review Filter":

Attracting active, established Yelpers/"social media superstars" seems to be the way to go if you're trying to speed up the whole process AND achieve longterm results...


Also, another tip, check out the top Yelp searches for your city. This is useful to help you determine how important an active Yelp presence might be for your industry in your city, plus you can snag the keyword information for your business descriptions and other business profiles etc:

Our experience has been that Yelp will kick the "negative" reviews to the back for a business that promotes/advertises on Yelp.
 
Would like to Trade or pay for Yelp, Google, Facebook reviews also I will help you out with any review sites if you do the same for me.
If you have the ability to get a review on Yelp to stay hit me up.

We are pumping 2k a month into advertising with Yelp for one of my clients. Negative reviews are sticking, and legit reviews from actual patients are not.

"Exactly how can one get around Yelp?s review filter?
To get reviews out of the filter I went into my filtered reviews and pulled up the reviewer?s individual review of Park Slope Eye. I began to engage that review and reviewer. I sent the reviewer a compliment, a message, and voted the review as useful, funny, or cool depending on the context. I did that for all of the reviews. Lastly, I added them as a friend, which you can do as a business owner. After doing all of this the review was taken out of the filter and is publicly accessible. "


I don't see a useful etc.. button in the yelp's filter!
if we can figure out a way to unfilter stuff it would be worthwhile
