Default Do you really think online reviews about services and products are trustworthy?

I notice that some reviews are real and come from real customers. However, I have the intuition that other reviews are fake and come from proxies (mercenaries) paid by companies to make false statements. This is only a feeling I have after reading many dubious reviews on Web sites for several years. My question is : do you make a decision based on these online reviews ?

well, it all depends on what type of website or product we're reviewing. I personally always google the company, website, and products for information and make sure it has no negative feedback before I believe in their stuff.

The reviews which are given on these websites are reliable to some extend. The stronger the reputation of website the reliability on review is more. so the reviews of famous and reliable web portals should be considered.

If the site is good with a good moderation system then you can get many genuine reviews otherwise now a days there are many marketing policies and they do the fake reviews to get the attention of the customers.

Thumbs up

I take all reviews with a grain of salt and a ton of question in my mind. I took care of these judgments, because they are often a source of ideas, which can then explore further. Negative critical reviews can be helpful, of course. It can also be positive, even if I became skeptical when the review is by far the most excessive adulation. Any product or service is so incredible that guarantees earthshakingly the worship of some more reviews to do just that. I think they paid for the collection of funds, and I do not trust, but also society "sponsored" --- If it's a fact.

It's a good idea to cross reference views, is --- a bad look, if valid, must appear in other reviews, for example. Similarly, the positive aspects, should be repeated. When I see an inconsistency in the value given in the product, I put my purchase in the background, do not rely on the information available to be worthy of my trust.

NO, I don't trust on review sites because companies pay them to give good review about them and hence they increase profit. It's better to take review from relatives, friends etc.

Can't assume because many big brands hire expert reviewer that provides good review for $$$ and their opposites hire to provide bad reviews for $$$.
