Recently, we received an email from a customer who had searched on the internet to see if our language courses had been recommended by other users. He found a comment which claimed that our language site was not genuine. This unsettled him and he contacted us directly.
It is quite understandable that users want to get advice and recommendations from internet sites, but frequently people intentionally post misleading or malicious comments advising people not to use a certain site. Negative comments may be from a disgruntled client. But they may also be simply malicious. Or they may be posted by a competitor wishing to affect the sales of a competing site. How do you know then that the advice or recommendations are not biased?
With handsonturkish.com it is very easy to validate the website and check whether this is a serious website with serious content.
