The Comparison of Two Giants In Field of Consumers' Opinions
Posted (admin) on 13-06-2008

Nowadays there are two sites in the area of consumers' opinions which are real opponents. The website which is a rookie in this area called PissedConsumer.com attempts to gain more visitors than its rival Consumer Reports has. So what would be the feature that may give victory to one of these websites?

The first test is very simple and you may perform it by yourself: just load these websites at the same time. It's directly plain that Consumer Reports has a slicker and more professional design. It is really handy for visitor's eyes to adapt as the basic hues used are grey, white and light blue. The main page comprises lots of pictures and links which are connected to some short articles. The interface of Pissed Consumer is also pleasing as it is composed with smooth red and white hues. However, their site does not have the identical professional feel to it as Consumer Reports. That is partially due to the different advertisements all over their page (supplied by Google). The page that comprises a lot of links and no images is always harder to browse and your eyes ought to be always strained to search for the required data. There are some sections which are quite useful. One section significantly eases the action of seeking for some recently discussed articles and complaints. “Hot topics” are shown by the second section. They are demonstrated just in one word hyperlink. One insignificant disadvantage of the hot topics section is that size of the font used there is too small to distinguish it easily.

I found Consumer Reports to be perfectly arranged with topics divided into wide topics that could then be narrowed to my nuances as required. For the supporters of Consumer Reports Magazine there is a section of the website where they may debate any information read in that magazine. From the other side, while Pissed Consumer was established, it was to a much lesser degree. The main page comprises the most recently created complaints and articles which may be a little confusing to a first time customer. There is a wide range of articles placed on it in the right side of the front page, but there is no strict classification that makes it less efficient. Fortunately, both resources do feature a comfortable search system if you can't seek what you're looking for on the main page. Most of Internet users who are proposed to visit these sites at the first time mention that Consumer Reports includes more information than Pissed Consumer. Pissed Consumer has got more subdivisions which include more information than Consumer Reports but it is more difficult to find precisely what you want because of quite not understandable design.

All in all, while both websites cover the same range of matters, it seems that Consumer Reports is the site with better ease of usage and organization. So, it wouldn't take much time to find the information you are interested in. This feature attracts lots of visitors. Pissed Consumer isn't bad but its awkward interface and advertisements keep it far from splendor.
