YELP Yelp advertising Post bad review 1 star hide not recommend good reviews. We pay yelp to advertise us they put us way down on list beneath services nor related to what we do Internet nation

I looked at your yelp page yesterday.  You had 2 new positive reviews from customers.  I thought to myself "I bet they move those positive reviews to the Not Recommended section".  Just now, I looked again and indeed one of your positive reviews has been removed.  

Something is going on with yelp.  Why do they do this to small business owners?  Yelp needs a complete overhaul, new management, new Coporate team, new employees, a new business model and most of all, a moral compass!

If you read the reviews at glassdoor, the employees, past and present, admit they have the ability to to decide which reviews stand and which ones are put under Not Recommended.  Yelp claims their software determines it, but if you read the glassdoor reviews, you find out quickly that no, it's humans making that decision.

In your case, what I don't understand is, if you are paying for advertising, that is, according to the employees, the determining factor in whether or not your business is allowed to have all your positives or whether they go to Not Recommended.  It's almost like someone at yelp hates you and has something personal against you.  I don't know the answer to this.  I think it will take a class action lawsuit to get yelp to change their crooked ways.  That or govt. intervention.  Ripoffreport generally does not allow links to be posted, so let me just say that if you do a bit of research, people are trying to get a class action suit going and there are a couple websites that are aiming for that.  People that have sued individually keep losing against so it's probably going to take a massive group effort to obtain any results.

Good luck!  Sorry this is happening to you.
