BACKGROUND
So i have had terrible experiences with yelp. Yelp was originally an ok service for me to get referrals through, however when i didn't pay for the service all of a sudden almost ALL of my 5 star reviews were retracted. I called them when they first started doing it and was told that they will not repost my reviews and the best way to ensure the reviews are kept up is to pay for their services... This is plain extortion "the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats." I have heard nothing but bad things from other pet sitters in my network and if you are a business owner reading this DO NOT and i repeat DO NOT use them for advertising.
REQUESTED RESOLUTION
I only want for yelp to put my reviews back on my profile otherwise i will NEVER use their paid services. Why would any business use a service that doesnt leave good reviews up? If Yelp puts my reviews back up on my profile i will retract my statements and post a rebuttal.
For anyone who wants to see what they did to my profile and all the reviews they hid, Please visit my business profile on yelp at yelp.com/biz/a-pet-sitters-of-arizona-gilbert

Businesses are constantly complaining about extortion from Yelp, who continue to deny it. I believe Yelp is a piece of crap of a website and I do NOT utilize them for anything. They contacted a friend of mine, several times now, almost as soon as he purchased a successful business, and tried to get money from him 'in order to protect his online reputation'.
People have simply got to start recording these phone calls and share them with the public at large.
