Positive aspects of Product Review Websites

Product Review websites abound on the internet, but they're not even close to all being equal in regards to honesty and integrity. Many product review sites seem to be to be fair at first glance, but further inspection indicates their true intent: to only promote products favorably, so they can generate profits via affiliate links.

Here are some ways to examine when a site and its owner(s) are merely in it for the money, or if they feature honest truly neutral, consumer-oriented product reviews:

1 ) Who Runs the Internet site? An actual review site will have an About/Bio/or Facts page that details who owns the site (and oftentimes why they began it. ) Too many sites that claim to be 'product review' sites are really run by affiliates posing as "honest" reviewers, when in simple fact their sole intent is to only recommend every product they write about.

2. The actual Testers or Site Owners Pick the Products Themselves? This is a major factor for review integrity. Just like medical studies, there is a strong proclivity towards advantageous bias of a product if the reviewer do not pay for it himself. The fact that a reviewer will pay for the product(s) him or herself speaks volumes of prints about their impartiality and ability to remain impartial during the course of the review.
