Can google differ between positive and negative reviews for a website?
Shopping online is always a gamble, you never know exactly what your getting because u cant actually see it. Ms. Rodriguez went online to buy a pair of glasses. she had been a long time fan of lafont; a french company. Not long after her purchase, she received a call from the owner of the site saying they were all out of her brand and she had to pick another. she was not allowed to get her money back; although a few days later she got them in as planned. The frames were counterfeit and she demanded for her money back; that's when the man became angry, swearing at her. she was also charged an extra $125 .
what i found so interesting about this story was that, when Ms.Rodriguez went on google to find a good site this site was at the top of the list. the owner of this site, has hundreds of posts, all negative. One was even from him explaining to everyone that each time they post something on his web page his statues goes up which causes him to get more business. i find it amazing that even now that we cannot tell what is actually a safe site and what is not. google is my number one go to source of information on a day to day basis; reading this has really opened my eyes to keep a look out for people like this man.
