Shock We at Janson-Beckett get questions all the time why AlphaDerma CE isn't ranked on product watch.net. The True answer is that product watch.net is not an impartial Rating Company, rather a very clever and deceiving Marketing tool. ProductWatch.Net has a vested interest, they make money as a result of any click through or purchase of the products listed, Especially the #1 or2 items. How do they determine which product is best? The company who gives them the biggest cut of profit is listed #1. We challenge anyone of the listed items on productwatch.net to a Independently Run Comparison! If Productwatch.net is legit I hope we can get a response and do a real trial review ASAP.Until now I wonder Why someone hasn't questioned the tactics of deceiving the customer into thinking they are getting the #1 ranked product? I just hope that someone will bring light to this subject. Not saying Avotox or any other products listed aren't okay, but the marketing is questionable!

That doesn't suprise me Ian. I refuse to buy anything now unless I check with everyone on this forum and they steered me in the right direction with the relax-a-line when I was looking at a couple of much more expensive products with the ingredient in that I wanted to try. Very Happy

Couldn't agree more. I bought Avotox because it was rated #1. Then, I found this forum. It was then I realized that there was something odd about the rating. The forum did not have but one or two comments on Avotox.

I did find their rankings suspicious. They have no disclaimer about affiliations with the top 3 or 4 products that they recommend. It would be nice to know how many and what other products they have considered for the comparisons. I did write them as well as other review sites about the validity of their tests (no response yet). On the other hand, their recommended products are actually pretty good but one has to do his/her own due diligence just to be sure. Unless it's a big marketing ploy by Avotox, it seems that they are dominating the rankings of other review sites (not only productwatch.net).

Shock I realized it was a scam when I clicked on Strivectin about 2 weeks ago and it sent me to their product Oht peptide. It made you believe that you could purchase Strivectin, but again when you clicked on it your only choice was the OHT peptide. Tricking the consumer into buying what wasn't strivectin. Since then they were caught and actually added their oht peptide along with strivectin. Tooo late to fool anyone.

It is funny you should mention e-consumer.org and consumer-review.net because we've made several attempts to submit AlphaDerma for their review and have still heard nothing back from them. When trying to contact anyone at these companies all you're given is a general email address- unlike when contacing other review sites and merchant networks where you are given toll-free number and detailed instructions on how to become a member. They leave me with no other choice but to beleive these sites are affiliated with the products they list.
