- Link so, i got this interesting bit of information from someone who worked for yelp: yelp is very agresssive in selling ads, the so called “sponsored results” to businesses which are being reviewed on yelp. when a business signs up for “sponsored results” (several k$), bad reviews then will be hidden. that means anytime the business stops taking out those ads, the bad reviews which remained hidden during the “sponsored results” run, pop up again. as a result, yelp is not at all a neutral review site. that entire idea is skewed! yelp can be helpful, but take it with a grain of salt or two. and be suspicious of “sponsored results” …. — bmwcafe
