(Newswire.net — March 15, 2013) Tampa, FL — According to the National Retail Federation over 92% of adult consumers do research before they make a purchase. Upon first glance many would consider this a prudent action. The problem, however, lies in who is actually providing the reviews and more importantly why.
Disturbing Trend
Upon researching credit repair reviews we noticed a disturbing trend, it seemed that some of the so called credit repair review sites where actually littered with affiliate and referral links.
An affiliate and/or referral link is a special piece of computer code that allows a credit repair company to track how a client finds them and then rewards the referring company an affiliate/referral fee.
This means that not only are these so called credit repair review websites placing what may be unwanted computer code or cookies onto your computer but they could are most likely recommending you to these credit repair firms in the hopes that you will purchase so they can make a quick buck.
Return On Investment
The top credit repair review websites have advertisements on the search engines that cost them up to $25.00 per click, when you click these advertisements you are brought to what seems like a set of innocent listings and corresponding reviews, however if you purchase from one of these companies after the review site put the code on your computer they get paid up to $75.
According to Danny Garcia at www.PayAfterDeletion.com “These so called credit repair review sites face a huge conflict of interest, if they give you a bad review then the likelihood of you purchasing from their “sponsors” and getting paid a referral fee diminishes drastically. I’m just not sure that a consumer can ultimately trust that a credit repair review wouldn’t be biased”
Turn To Social Media
Mr Garcia goes on to recommend that “Whenever you are choosing a credit repair company you should do your homework, you should understand that reviews, recommendations, and testimonials provided are done so intentionally and you must understand the underlying reason. Very few companies will ever post a bad review on themselves and if a company is getting paid to send deals to another they may not be completely forthright with their information. I recommend that you go to social media sites like linkedin and facebook and ask your connections what they think, you may be surprised that their opinions don’t necessarily match those of the credit repair review sites.
