What Is An Honest Online Product Review?

I don’t know about you, but quite frankly I’m sick and tired of all these bogus so called” honest reviews” of internet marketing products. Basically what you get is a sales pitch in disguise, even many of the supposed “bad reviews” are just a bait and switch ploy to get your attention to the product and then lead you to buy through an affiliate link on the review site.

This is a tactic that is being taught by several “gurus” and “seasoned marketers”. The bottom line to me is that it’s all a bunch of hype to sell piles of crap in shiny boxes, because most of what is being pushed to the newbie is the same old rehashed outdated bullshit or something that’s readily available for free. Some of these guys actually have the nerve to charge as much as $2000 for this stuff or monthly recurring fees up to $150.

As an affiliate marketer myself, I understand that you have to get the word out about your products to make money, However I find many of these so called reviews insulting and useless.

The good news is…there are some marketers out there with real integrity, who for instance will actually give you an honest review and not try and trick you into buying garbage products…they are few and far between, but they do exist.

I recently had the pleasure to read such a review by a fellow marketer who has shown a high level of integrity, his name is Steven Blackman of Make Money Online For Idiots. Now, don’t be put off by the name of his site, what’s important here is the content. The review that I’m talking about can be found here: brad-callens-ppc-web-spy-complete-piece-of-garbage

I know you’re probably saying “Why would you send me to a competitors blog?” Remember that the purpose of this blog to is to share with you whatever good information I find in my quest to become an internet marketing professional. I intend to do just that to the best of my ability, besides I’m no competition for anyone…yet. :-)
