"Offer to sell positive reviews to businesses profiled on Yelp.com (presuming that you actually have a legitimate experience with them)"

Or, you could extort businesses by threatening them with not giving negative reviews if they don't pay you large sums of money.

(It's a variation on the Doug and Dinsdale Piranha Business Model.)

Really? Are you trying to get them in trouble with the FTC? Compensated endorsements must be clearly disclosed. The failure to do so is considered a deceptive trade practice.
