WOT Services Ltd. develops and promotes the website reputation and review service Web of Trust (WOT). The company was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Helsinki, Finland.
Web of Trust (WOT)
WOT is a website reputation and review service that helps people make informed decisions about whether to trust a website or not. WOT is based on a unique crowdsourcing approach that collects ratings and reviews from a global community of millions of users who rate and comment on websites.
This approach enables WOT to protect you against threats that only the human eye can spot such as scams, unreliable web stores or questionable content. WOT is based on a patented system where user behavior is systematically analyzed and monitored to ensure the ratings are reliable and constantly updated. Third party sources are also used to increase the accuracy of the website ratings, such as blacklists of phishing sites.
WOT works in a very simple way - it shows website reputations as traffic lights next to search engine results or next to urls. By clicking the traffic light icons you can find out more information about a website’s reputation and other users’ opinions.
Today, WOT is the world’s leading crowdsourced website reputation service with over 140 million downloads worldwide and collaborates with the world’s leading Internet companies such as Facebook and the Mail.Ru Group. The WOT browser add-on works with all popular browsers.
