Turning a Negative Into A Positive
Well initially when I came across this review of my site I was outraged to say the least...
But then I thought getting angry is not achieving anything so lets use this 'bad' publicity to my advantage; I've now shared the content with over 3000 people personally & who knows how far that reach will be...
So Thanks Scam Advisers for giving me the 'Perfect' post content for ALL my social networking sites and International Friends ~ May the reaction lead to action on these bogus review sites that chat shit...!!! Plus bring new friends/followers/traffic/audience/ call it what you like, to my window of opportunity ~ where I can share my opinion on a lot of things...!!!
Anyone who checks out my website can also click on all my links to validate that I am a 'real' person for one & for two; I have only ever promoted or discussed my own personal experiences of products/services/people I've encountered via social networking & real life.
I nearly lost £200 trusting a review site like this ~ fortunately the bank were able to refund my money as a 'product not as advertised' or words to that effect and I reported the company to Action on Fraud
I do not like getting angry ~ it's not good for my health but I had to share this experience with you guys, as we are all out there and will attract adverse attention. Learn to use it to your advantage and report any dubious sites to http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/ if you're in the UK sorry I don't know the international ones...
Caveat emptor is my last word on it.

Scamadvisors does not like the private domain registrations. Yet it is an important function for website owners, particularly small business owners, to protect their websites from hackers and criminals.
It is possible the website rankings are mostly based on the age of the website. They say they use 150 different criteria.
One of my sites was rated at 93% even though I use a private registration. I think the rating is based on the age of the website.
Well, I don't think there is any better way to handle that. Good for you. I probably would have had a moment (or several) of crushing doubt in the viability of my site. At least they gave you some content ideas. :)
Best of luck going forward.
Yes there are some sites that unjustly grade and stamp too many sites as scams. Not too much you can do other than what you have done...Best of luck! Dave : )
Hopefully I'll be the last one laughing, as they say any publicity is 'good' publicity well fingers crossed lol

Indeed, sometimes we need to take time to see ourselves through OTHER's eyes...but it does NOT mean that they are always correct...just a bit of info to use or not use as you see fit...
Press On!
