      Before 2012, our employees used to spam in the forums as we are not that skilled in SEO at that time. And it caused a low WOT score and some people report us as spam.

      But since 2012, I forced them to stop all kinds of spam activities, but it always take 10x works to make up for the mistake made before.

      Now we are totally focus on the white-hat SEO, and how can we improve the WOT score? Thanks.


      I've already requested a review, and they said that they need more time to re-rate my site.

        I think in the world of day, increasing this WOT score is pretty much easy and all you need to do is to re brand your company ethically and contribute in the community generously...

        Try to write quality articles on your company blog, use Google Authorship tag for your authors, offer freebies, join and create discussions, create link baits, attend conferences and more...

        The idea is to come to the front and do everything that a REAL ethical man (company) should do and you will see slowly and gradually your WOT score will improve with your connections and communications in the virtual world.

        Hope this helps!

          Yes these are exactly what we are doing since 2012, and the WOT score just increase too slow.

          Most of people who feels bad with your website or company will leave a low rating on WOT, while few people feels good with our website will go to mark a high score.

            The process of building a reputation is always slow but somehow you have to live with it to move forward.
