Consumers can share their online shopping experiences and feelings by means of the Internet platform. They can also browse the comments of others as a reference before they buy any goods, so they could get more information so as to help them make their own the purchase decision. It's true clear that the online consumer reviews influence consumer's purchasing intention in certain extent. So it's necessary to analyze online reviews and provide some recommendations for e-commerce businesses and online shop-owners.In this paper, empirical method is used for the research of online customer reviews on consumers'purchasing intention.
