I don't use Yelp for anything that I want to trust. I have seen too many
examples of when their "results" are absolute fabrications. I can't
speak to Angie's List, as I haven't used them much at all.
Point is that most, if not all, of the online search lists, or catalogs
or whatever are still relatively easy to exploit.
Google has gone through at least 5 or 6 major iterations of refining the
way they search. I'm sure there will be more, because as soon as Google
(and companies like Google) find a way to patch some of the exploits,
other clever people will find a way to game the system.
I have a cousin who makes his living selling Google (and Bing) exploits.

Better choices like Yelp and Angies List come to mind, plus probably
