While it is a good practice for the visitor of any review site to treat
every product recommendation with a healthy degree of skepticism, it would be a
mistake to assume that every review is invalid just because there may be a
commission paid to the reviewer. Here are some of the readers protections we
attempt to build into our reviews:
1. Many of the reviews contain lots of factual information that is easily
verifiable. We always try to provide an honest and accurate assessment.
2. The review includes a section that is a subjective summary. This is based
on the personal experience of the reviewer.
3. Attempts are made to establish the general consensus in relation to
specific products by reading reviews of those products on other sites, along
with user testimonials and we attempt to portray this overall perception in our
reviews.
4. We always provide links to the manufacturers' website to provide
additional information that is not available in our reviews. Some of this
information can include customer testimonials, more specific product details,
sales information, free newsletters and even samples.
These are good rules of practice. It is important for you as a consumer to
understand the relationship between a person reviewing the product and the
manufacturer.
If you do not see a disclosure policy on a review site, that reviewer may be
committing an offence.
I hope that you have a useful and meaningful experience as a direct result
of our detailed reviews and articles. We welcome any feedback that may help us
to improve your experience when visiting this website.
