Possibly the worst rum rating website ever

[mamajuana]

Today I came across possibly the worst new rum website ever... but you be the judge...

http://www.10bestrum.com/

Their rating system seems to be the most suspect here.

0 stars.

"The 10 Best Rum Analytic Review

10 Best Network LLC and the 10 Best Rum (DBA) team is made up of individuals who have worked in online branding, web reputation, PPC, social media marketing & SEO for years. Our team has worked to create an algorithmic application which rates and reviews the best SEO agencies based on a number of qualitative and quantitative ranking points. With the exception of some outstanding agencies which are given month-by-month fee exemptions, positions on 10 Best Rum's lists are granted to companies which have entered themselves through our fee-based submission form located on our website at http://www.10bestseo.com/agencies/submit/.

These fees are required to keep our platforms running, allowing us to continually search for high-performing companies in the industry. The 10 Best Rum Analytic Review Algorithm includes services offered, client research, online research, customer reviews, previous accolades, traffic and other SEO rankings, proprietary analytics, and other ranking resources, but ultimately...
THESE REVIEWS ARE DERIVED FROM THE OPINIONS OF OUR EMPLOYEES."

This site is run in conjunction with a "branding" company who specializes in branding, web design, social media promotion and the like. Their "Top 10" based on a "secret algorithym" requires that you pay...

"Although agencies can be included in our search engine optimization directory for free, companies seeking candidacy for 10 Best Rum ranking pages must pay a standard fee to cover costs involved with research, review, and analysis of the agency in questions, as well as overhead & marketing of our websites."

Although they claim to use "experts" in their paid analyses, alleged to included distillers, they fail to name a single one. The only difference between say the Shillery and this facked up site is that the latter, at least, is honest about selling their "awards"...
