FAQs & Answers - OnlineMeans Reviews

1- Why are most of your reviews positive?

The simple answer is this: We spend our valuable time to write reviews ONLY on products we think can actually deliver the goods, and be helpful to our visitors.

To be more explicate, we do not waste our time and scarce manpower to write reviews on products which we have reviewed and found not good enough. We have reviewed thousands of products from different niches and diverse works-of-life. In fact, we review dozens of products on an ongoing base daily.

Not all these products we review do get written-reviews from us! But written-product reviews that make it to our website are those we have scrutinized and found to be helpful and worth our time. But more importantly, products-reviews that are capable of helping our website visitors such as you, to make a good buying decision.


2- How do you calculate the average user ratings you display on your website?

The rating you see displayed on the site is based on so many factors (signals as we call it), but the signal with the most value is the feedback we get from people who have used the product. This rating system works pretty much like what you have at Amazon, eBay and others.

While we do our best to make the user rating value as correct as we can, we don't guarantee 100% that the product with the highest user ratting will help you the most. You should understand that there might be some degree of noise and statistical variance during our calculations.

For this reason, we advise our website visitors not to base ONLY on this value when making their final buying decision. However we can say for sure that this value can actually give you a broad picture of how other people who bought the product in the past felt about it, and how the product works as a whole.

It is also worth mentioning here that there is a constant fluctuation in the user ratting value, since we try to make the results of this value to accurately reflect the most current incoming user feed-backs.


3- Why do you call your review company "OnlineMeans"?

Frankly speaking, this is one of the questions we don't think has a place in the FAQs section of this site. However because of the increasing number of people who ask this question, we thought it could be time saving to answer the question here.

OnlineMeans is simply a name we gave to our review company! Think of it: Why is Google called Google? Why is Amazon called Amazon? Why is Apple computers called Apple? and the list goes on.


4- What type of products do you guys review?

As of now, we only review digital products. We are however hoping to expand to other areas sooner or later.


5- How do you review the products you recommend to buyers?

We dig up good things, and dirt on digital products by investigating what is hidden behind them. Not only do we do interviews with the creators of these products, we also contact real people who have bought and used the product in the past, to find out what kind of feedback they have on it.

However the most interesting thing about our review company is probably the fact that we also test and try out the products our self to see if they actually work as they claim on their sales page.

For review on health products, we mostly use volunteers as subjects of our test. If you want to apply to be one of our volunteers, you should contact us using the contact information provided on the site.


6- How many products have OnlineMeans reviewed?

We have reviewed thousands of products. But only the best products get written reviews published on our high traffic website. We add new products on different niches and works of life on a daily base. So the site only gets bigger. In fact, it is getting bigger even as we speak. However, when we find out that a product with a written review on the site is no longer selling online, we take down the review immediately so we don't mislead our visitors.
