it is all about creditable reviews

Brett_Tabke Quoted:

As of a couple weeks ago alexa made a change. Now, when you write a review, your email address has to be validated by alexa AND, alexa will delete any prior reviews from email address for that site. Ouch.

What I learned by posting a review about webmasterworld in Alexa, I was able to use a hotmail address. All I had to do was confirm that address and my post was approved. Spam - everyone who does it, including reviewers, has at least several yahoo, hotmail accounts on hand. How would one solve that issue?

Okay it is spyware ~ so if non of the issues can be resolved to make reviews legit maybe I can get removed from their database?

Who really cares about Alexa?

I never asked to be listed in Alexa, but I understand how my listing got there. Do I want to be removed from their site? (could i anyway?) I don't mind the listing, after all it is a link and even if my site visitors from Alexa are small, it is a customer and so to that ~ Alexa is important to me.

However, I don't want reviews on my site. Good or Bad, if they are not from a creditable source. I like the feedback here regarding this topic, and quite shocked at how many replied! Clearly this is an issue because people do care one way or another.

Alexa is not on my good side... But then who cares. ;)
