I have a little rant here. I know I should probably put it in the Official Rant Thread, but I am a dictator what can I say.
Since this site has gone live our hits have grown every day and we have you the members to thank for that. We get calls all day long for people wanting us to review stuff and most of the time we will oblige. We only have a few rules.
1. We must try the product first to do a review.
2. We will only do an honest review.
3. We will not take money for a positive review.
If someone wants to buy an ad, that is up to them, but I wont do what a few other sites out there do every day. I want it to be as honest as it can be.
You would not believe how many companies are used to just sending over a press release and some images and have the "site owner or blogger" push out a review. They just dont seem to understand that to me, that is not a review. That is a profile or media release.
My favorite is a call I got just this morning from a company and website that will remain nameless. They wanted us to do positive reviews on their products in exchange, they will pay for banner advertising on THP. That is their "arranged agreement" with other sites. I could not believe it.
I just want you guys to know that we will continue to do reviews the way we are supposed to.
