WOT's new partnerships
You can see the WOT reputation icons when browsing the web, but do you know where else the WOT reputation ratings improve the safety of the web? During the past months, WOT has established several partnerships to make extensive use of the WOT reputation data.
Facebook protects users with WOT ratings
 Facebook, the Internet’s leading social platform, collaborates with WOT to give Facebook’s over 700 million users reliable protection against dubious web links. When a Facebook user clicks a link that leads to a page with a poor reputation rating given by the WOT community, Facebook shows a warning message.
“Facebook cares deeply about preserving user trust and providing users with the best tools to enjoy a safe experience online. We are excited about our partnership with Web of Trust--they share similar goals and approaches in giving users better control of their online experience, “ says Jake Brill, Manager Site Integrity for Facebook.
We at WOT are excited about working with Facebook too! Read more about the collaboration on Facebook's Security Blog.
GlobalSign's Website Passport includes WOT ratings

Ask WOT
How reliable are the reputation ratings?
The WOT system analyzes each user's rating behavior from several aspects in order to determine their reliability. When you start using WOT, your ratings have little weight, but if you keep rating sites consistently, your ratings will be considered more reliable over time. The meritocratic nature of the system makes it far more difficult for spammers to abuse, because bots will have a hard time simulating human behavior over a long period of time, thus the reputations are very reliable.
