I am reviewing a website while using the websites tool, some inception going on there... good site, provides me an excellent service and has sure saved me from a few viruses
I've seen some negative comments about this site. However, I personally have not had a problem visiting it nor using their software. I do not pretend to agree or disagree with the other WOT users. I appreciate their time and efforts.
What follows is my only issue, but it occurs for too often for me to ignore.
The following example is copied from a mywot page; it shows a claim that a good rating is based on "user ratings" but it doesn't show any ratings or even the number of them. Compared to the colorful multi-graphic recommendation near the top of the page, the smaller, bland icon and plain-text disclaimer lower on the page, saying that the rating "has a low confidence" b/c "not many people have rated the site," is woefully inadequate. Suspicious? Yes!
