Fake reviews!

[neddy]

The growing power of the internet as a channel for happy or horrified consumers to influence other customers has been illustrated by news out of the US that some businesses are paying writers to post glowing recommendations on review websites and social networks.

One of the things in this article that amazed me was this:

A similar service, Word of Mouth on the Web (WOMOW), started in Australia in 2007. Founder Fiona Adler says it now has 80,000 members and about 190,000 reviews online and the website (womow.com.au) draws about 1 million visits a month.

Anyone want to buy Fussy.com.au or Grumpy.com.au?

Hey Ned,

how about grump.com.au or whinge.com.au?

Both very applicable to me. I'll take them both please.

Ned, If you wait 6 months and I will sell you whingers.com.au ?
Of couse I am not going to reg. it with the sole purpose of selling it to you
That will be only 98% of the purpose!
The other 2% of the purpose is to monetize it
Fabulous must have had a lot of experience monetizing for whingers, so I would expect to earn while I am waiting out the 6 months
Let me know if you wish me to proceed

@Ned

I can only offer complain.net.au

 

[neddy]

And I just noticed that Moaner.com.au is available for reg.

I had an employee years ago called Lisa - and I had to fire her because she complained a lot.

If domains were in vogue then I could have registered "MoanerLisa.com.au" -
