How To Pick A Good Colon Cleanse & Not Get Ripped Off

In this video, consumers learn exactly what to look for to spot if a product testimonial is real or a fake attempt to sell a product. As consumers, we rely on the experiences of other people to gage if a product is good or not. But what if the testimonial is fake. How do you know? This is how you know.

1) Organic Ad or Sponsored? The first thing to note is the testimonial a free service or paid? One can gather this information quickly depending on if it is organic or a sponsored link. If it is on the right hand side of the page or at the very top, it is likely a sponsored link and will usually say so. This means that somebody is paying Google or what ever search engine you are using to be there. The advertiser's hope is that you will like their ad, click on their link and be taken to a page that will promote their product. This is one of the first clues you can get to determine if a product testimonial is legit or not.

2) Content of the Blog. The average person who is putting up a blog about their weight loss experience will do just that. Tell you about their experience. Many of the fake blogs and testimonial sites will also try to sell the product. (That is the first thing that should strike you as strange). This means that they do not simply want to convey their experience, they also want to sell you something. Often these sites will have lots of great graphics and news clips from big name media outlets like MSN, CBS etc.. This is supposed to give their product some kind of legitimacy, but a real person just relaying their story would likely not go through so much trouble.

3) Free Trials.Many of the fake product testimonial weight loss sites or colon cleansing sites will also offer a free trial. What regular person, putting up their blog about their experience would do this? This is another big red flag for the consumer. A lot of the time, the free trial ends up being a negative opt in option, where buy once you sign up, they will continue to bill you and ship you product, usually on a monthly basis. It's like an automatic autoship. One should be very careful of these, and again, be alarmed that this is likely NOT a real blog or testimonial site, but a sales page.

4) Advanced Programming. This is one of my favorites. With a fake testimonial page or blog, when you try to leave you will get some kind of warning, or pop up, and it will usually take you to yet another page with a stronger sales message. No legitimate person, simply wanting to tell you about their experience would go through such trouble. This is one of the biggest red flags for you to know that the site you are on, may be a sales page and not a legitimate testimony.

There are legitimate testimonial sites out there, but the real ones will not likely have any of the factors mentioned above.
