Multiple Web Sites/One Company

[The Merg]

I've noticed that in this technological world, there are some companies that create multiple websites even though they are one company... basically DBA's. I think that ResellerRatings should create someway to show this among the store reviews.

An example of what I mean...

Broadway Photo (www.bwayphoto.com)
A&M Photo (www.amphoto.com)
Digital Liquidators (www.digitalliquidators.com)

are all the same company (they all have the same mailing address). Of course, in ResellerRatings, each one of these websites (companies) has its own listing. Now in this case, each one of these websites has awful ratings (as they should be consistent, since they are the same company), but there should be some way to show that they are all the same.

As an example of a good company that is doing the same thing, you can look at:

IBuyDigital (www.ibuydigital.com)
IBuyPlasma (www.ibuyplasma.com)

Both of these have ratings over 9, but once again they have the exact same mailing address.

Just something to consider. As a side note, does anyone know why this seems to be a common practice among companies on the web?

We will add an AKA to store title listings when they become known and verified. We're currently working to improve the linkage system for better integration and cross-referencing in this regard and hope to have this accomplished in the near future.

Many owners operate one store on several domains, or shut down one domain and reopen with a new domain or domains. Some are legit, but far too many do this to avoid bad reviews and merchant responsbilities, and [to try] to escape angry consumers' detection.

Another AKA for Broadway Photo is Regal Camera.
