Consumer Review has quickly become one of the most trusted sources of unbiased, concise information for consumers on the internet. We are the only such service to concentrate our editorial review standards on products provided through the world wide web with the ultimate goal of assisting the general public in making an informed, qualified purchase decision.
Our product review policy is based on providing clear, straight forward advice and documentation of a product, company or website. It is not our policy to comment on the specific industry as a whole, rather our review focus is on the specific offering from the individual website. For example, in the Pay Day loans category, our review report explains how the industry works, how the terms will effect you, and then we subsequently review the top companies offering these services. These ratings are then compiled and calculated on a proprietary ranking system.
It is also important to note that we do not necessarily include every site we review, rather our policy is to show the full spectrum of the available curve including the top three sites, followed by a selection of average sites and then the sites that ranked at the bottom of our curve. This does not mean that the bottom sites are in fact "bad" or "poor" sites, rather in comparison to the top ranked sites, they scored at the bottom of the grading curve.
Each site we review begins with a category construction that consists of determining the key points of performance for the product. For example, a directory would be graded on how many listings were contained and the subsequent quality of those listings. Each category will then have a different set of rating criteria that will effect the ranking.
