Generally, WOT is an excellent guide to the trustworthiness of websites and I rely upon the comments of other WOT users as a guide before going to a website. N.B. WOT ratings are, for myself and other members of WOT, a guide and although immensely helpful most of the time are not always accurate: This is due to what is called the compensated-review process. It's quite simply when businesses and websites pay to create dummy accounts to not only purchase products but to write raving reviews, like the 4 and 5-star reviews one may often see on Amazon.    There are unfortunately many people with vested interests in voting as "trustworthy" a website which is illegal, has third-party links to adware and malware, and/or involve phishing and spam, who will give these websites a good rating on WOT, a practice WOT users need to be on guard against. A good method, besides using one's own discrimination and common sense, is to have a look at websites which are voted as "trustworthy" often with short but glowing comments by "users" and yet have quite a number of other WOT users warning about the websites and giving CONCRETE examples, backed up by accompanying data, as to exactly what is suspicious about the site(s): when one sees websites with precise information as to why they are untrustworthy, these should be taken 'on board' as websites which are NOT to be trusted.  When you find this mix of positive and negative comments, the website involved is almost always one to avoid and/or be wary of.  Watch out for a mixture of oppositional ratings with websites that you're not familiar with or am suspicious of, and you'll be smart to take the negative ratings much more seriously than the positive ones. This is the trouble one runs into when relying on people giving their opinions. Many will be biased with vested interests in websites e.g., often they're making money from them. It would be ideal if WOT could come up with a way to verify exactly who the raters were and to check their behaviour when it comes to rating websites highly that are known to be unethical, if not also illegal, and thus remove the biased raters from being able to continue to comment and rate websites for a set period of time or perhaps indefinitely if, after being allowed back on WOT, they resume the same habits again.

Unfortunately, although this site has good intentions, it often promotes misleading information or obsolete information about other sites. The owners of the site do not respond to requests and do not take responsibility about what is written on their site. Therefore, by spreading untrue information harm other potentially legitimate sites. There are some good aspects, but the way it operates allowing reviewers to hide their identity and allowing comments without proof makes this site really untrustworthy and plainly useless and quite harmful. This should not be allowed. I know that this requires a lot of effort, but quality need resources. Here a few facts and what has to be fixed: 1. WOT does not require that a user actually have a myWOT account. They can simply install the add-on and rate from that point on. 2. WOT has no fail-safe mechanism that checks a user’s rating against professional security/trust tools. 3. WOT does not have any type of verification for account setup–no email or phone verification. 4. Ratings should be verified and approved before being posted. It is a minimal show of respect for the reviewed site. 5. the site can be improved to make real time checks with anti scam/malware site like McAfee, BitDefender, etc. and listing sites such as SUBLR.
