How about false advertising? How many times have I heard their ads say, “No (contractor) can pay to be on Angie’s list”, or words to that effect? This article directly disputes that claim.

It seems that Angie charges both subscribers and the companies she recommends.

Just saw an article on Facebook that says Angie is halting construction in Indiana due to the bill Pence just signed addressing RFRA.

Sounds like the wheels could be coming off over at Angie's List.

I have never liked these “referral” sites like AL and Yelp. They are going to be dominated by the most irritating complainers, some of whom are considerably more irritating than anything a contractor could do to you. This is done under the tacit assurance that you are going to be relieved of one of those things that life has to offer: That you have to be exceptionally careful of whom you hire and whom you let into your home to do work. And of course, the potential for extortion as Yelp does on a routine basis is tremendous.

When you ratify a belief in what such a service can do for you, you are saying “I trust these little poodles who text their cel phones every 35 seconds who otherwise annoy me any time I come in contact with them, you know, the kind of people who have the intellect to repeat any 0bama bumper sticker slogan, to make my life better.”

That’s just frickin’ dumb. The premise is, that a contractor whom you hire and does 96% of what you agreed to and gets over a hiccup or two, which is as good as it gets in the (ahem) real world deserves.....anything. That doesn’t merit a rave review nor a whining complaint pile. That’s just doing substantially what was agreed upon.

All I know about Angie’s List is that when I went to her web site, the first things she wanted was my email address, then a $25 membership fee.

I live in a small city. What if I pay the $25 & she has NO listings or very few for my town? No way to know without paying the fee. Spend your money & take your chance is her offering. The county fair ring toss game is a better deal.

I left the site in disgust, but she had my email address. She kept sending me spam, wanting me to join. I tried to get removed from her mailing list, but that didn’t work, the emails kept coming. Finally, I blocked her, & after a while, her junk email to me stopped.

I wont be going back to Angie’s List - a list of suckers.

A guy I used to supervise dated Angie in high school.

He said he finds her a lot better looking after she made her first couple million.

Angie’s List was at least in the past, maybe still, too expensive and not worth the cost. Much of of it could be obtained for free from other sources.

The politics of Angie’s List aside, it’s a sound and valuable resource for consumers who need and want professional services. The chief value is in the customer reviews you find there, in just about any category you can name.

Businesses don’t have to pay to be listed on Angie’s List. Any member can write and publish a review on anyone they do business with. Businesses who want to capitalize on generating lots of positive reviews will often sign up as paid participants. Doing so, attracts business from Angie’s List members, who then post reviews of their experiences with those businesses. Generate lots of positive buzz and you can boom your business.

On the flip side, deliver crappy service and you’re going to generate a lot of negative reviews, which defeats the purpose of paying to be there every month.

Bottom line, if you see a contractor on Angie’s List with a ton of good reviews, they’ve earned it, and there’s a high likelihood that you can trust them to do a good job for you.

I’ve had my business on Angie’s List for over two years now, and have had a great experience with it. We’re now doing better than we have in years and years because of all the positive reviews we’ve earned.
