несколько лет пользуюсь сам и многим уже посоветовал пользоваться WOT. в этом году открыл свой сайт, сайт одежды, всё законно. стоит защита SSL и прочее. а WOT выставил оценку вдруг " Это подозрительный сайт" - ЧТО ?! сайт ни в каких сомнительных базах не участвовал и на тебе ??? Нынче WOT это отстой. всё что нужно знать о нем !!! Помимо это, рекламу с поводом и без повода подает. Вопрос, кто будет оплачивать их рекламу ?? Слава Богу, что альтернатив в наше время предостаточно, + он-лайн ресурсов для проверки сайта на предмет мошенничества, да и после SSL - wot совсем не нужен. Гадит только.
