What will you do when the review bubble bursts

Lots of news lately about companies cracking down on fake / paid reviews. Do you get these warnings often? Or is it quite the routine thing?
Was just looking in to buying some now.

Review business is never going away, I sold the shit from the era of AzoogleAds and Acai Berry when there was no Yelp, No FB Reviews or Business pages and sure as shit no Google GMB. We used to create what is now called web 2.0 microsites and entire domains and just rank them.

As long as there are businesses and ways to search for info about them, review posting and ORM business is evergreen.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

What does this particular part of your post have to do with reviews?

Fake reviews like email spam are probably here for a very long time

I’ve read so many paid for and fake reviews in my life and bought a crap product because of it (even on Amazon) that I don’t even read reviews anymore. I think reviews will become less important generally to shoppers now and in the future. Will people keep paying for fake reviews? Probably. But it will be a waste of money, I think.

Funny how that works. Spamdexing doorpages and mass link building seems like a thing of the past and yet the all-mighty G's SERPs are full of websites doing exactly that.
