ReplyDeleteThat part is very true and practical where you have mentioned about the competitors taking advantage of your negative review and some of them generating the same for spoiling your online image. They are such opportunity seekers who “will not leave any stone unturned” and certainly live up to your expectations without any failure, they are that dedicated soul (sarcasm intended). Well the measures which you have provided out of formality were not required in this article, but for the sake of doing it you did it anyway, no harm done in that. Rest of the article is up to the mark.
