Vision Improvement Site

I had been sitting on Margot Bree’s request to review pinhole glasses by Pinhole Glasses Direct, when a comment arrived on the web site.

It was from Erin of Improve Vision, and she also made a similar request to review their vision improvement product.

The criteria sounded familiar: around 300 words, with 3 direct links to their web site. It was exactly the same as Margot’s criteria.

When I asked, Erin clarified that she is actually Margot’s colleague. I replied that I’d be happy to go review their product if they could send me a copy. Erin said she would email me their e-book to start with.

Before I received the e-book, I published the review on Pinhole Glasses Direct.

Erin then emailed to request that their review be posted on a different web site before she would send me the e-book.
When I explained that I only run one vision improvement site but I’d still be keen to review her product, the emails abruptly ended.

She hasn’t replied to my 2 emails since.

All this has left a rather sour taste in my mouth.

Erin didn’t email me the e-book after promising to do so. The only thing that has changed is that the pinholes review was published.

It seems obvious that their only intention to get more incoming links to their web site. Fair enough, but why cheese off a partner who’s actually helping you?

I promised Margot to do a review and I will keep my end of the bargain. The review will remain on this site, unchanged.

As for Erin, I still have no idea how good or bad her product is but I certainly won’t spend any money just to find out.
