Hello,
The strangest thing happened a few days ago.
We had about 100+ Yahoo reviews that we painstakingly collected from our customers. 5 days ago I get an email from a Yelp rep with the following: "Are you interested in a 15 minute call to see if advertising on Yelp make sense? Let me know." Naturally, I trash it, but then I read a press release announcing a partnership between Yahoo and Yelp. I go to our Yahoo page: http://local.yahoo.com/info-73359802-motors-on-wheels-houston and lo and behold, all our reviews have been deleted and replaced with our Yelp reviews ( we went from 109 to 5).
I started looking at other dealerships on Yahoo Local and noticed that every dealer that had more than 100 reviews (I was tracking a few) was affected the same way. Their original yahoo reviews were deleted and replace with Yelp reviews. The funny thing is dealers with a few reviews are still powered by Yahoo.
Extortion?
