Usually appear on web-pages alongside products for sale on sites like Amazon or eBay.
Also appear on shopping aggregators like Google's shopping pages and many others.
Frequently used tactic to boost a product's image and desirability by appearing to be based on actual user experiences,

User experience is the key to this type of false marketing, or 'lying' about products. With the rise of Social Media, online

quite honest and the drive to be helpful to other people is one of the strongest of social drives.
