Star Rating System - Google
“Google+ is destroying my business” The words from another “front page listing owner” in “Google Groups” The stars are the eye catcher. Everyone clicks on the listing with the most stars, its a given, but Google must have sensed something fishy or maybe an unfair advantage from other small business without reviews? If you know feel free to leave a comment.
I don’t blame Google for taking away the star system if it is being abused by blackhat SEO, but one would think some reasoning would be in order?
