I do most of my holiday shopping online and I depend on product reviews to help guide me in the decisions that I make.  The trick is finding good, dependable and honest reviews.  One of the main problems out there are companies who have their employees post positive reviews that are obviously not impartial. There really is no way to know if it is an honest review, but there are a few things you can do to help ensure you find reviews that will help you.

1. Look for reviews that include personal experience with the products. A good review will give you the positives and the negatives.

2. Avoid reviews that are sponsored by the company/product being reviewed. Many review sites promote the positive & sponsored reviews to the top.

3. Check out a variety of sources for reviews.
