This site is failing to list any of our reviews. They seem content with only listing reviews from PC Mag, Cnet and PC World. It looks to me like they are doing some serious sucking up. You will notice that they keep winning awards from the same people they are promoting.

Anyone interested in hounding them until they list our reviews? They certainly are not listening to me, but as readers, you count!

Not that I'm against spreading the DT word, but I've never even heard of these folks...and based on their 'press' page no one has said anything about them for 3 years or there abouts.

I'm sure if you pay their fee, they'd be happy to list you. (http://www.consumersearch.com/www/affiliates.html)

We are not a place that sells the stuff. That page is for wholesellers. We only do reviews of products. You know like to get listed on this page and stuff.

All our selling functionality is taken care of by a different company. That company would have to contact consumersearch if they want to be featured on there.

I'm not sure what the best course of action to get our reviews listed would be. Maybe like sign a petition or something. This site you can make your own petition for people to sign. What do you think?

Hi folks. I am Derek Drew, CEO and Editor In Chief of ConsumerSearch.com. I like your site. I am not sure if I can, I will try to get you into the reviews tables in our site. Note then when the All Reviews tables are composed, the editors are really looking for comparative review content and the rate all reveiws on that, NOT on the quality of the content. So, if they haven't linked to you in the past, it might be because they had trouble because they were looking more for comparative roundups than collections of individal reviews. I don't know if that is the case, however, but I really like what you are doing here. They'll also be looking for an About.htm type page that tells more about your methods and who the people are here and their backgrounds, etc. than what I was able to find in the 5 mins I have been here. Oh, and about the Press page, we have been so busy updating our site I haven't bothered to update that. Rest assured, everybody from the Wall Street Journal to Washington Post to Time Magazine and Consumer Reports comments about us will be in there. But like you, sometimes I am too busy with the content to attend to the niceities of trying to promote myself so that page is hopelessly out of date. Keep it up!!!! Also, being that it is Christmas, you must have a lot of visitors tonight because the pages are loading too slowly for me to scan properly for those comparative roundups. I am sure that there is material here -- I saw some of it -- of that nature. I will try to get our editors aware of this!!! No matter what, though, please keep in mind that our Reviews ratings are NOT based on overall quality, but instead based on more looking for comparative excellence.

Comparing is such a compromise...
Even with 2 keyboards.
1 has 16-30 extra buttons just to wonder the net, and sound and all the rest.
1 is just SOLID and dependable.

rather have something that i can Throw against the wall and still work.

And try comparing the Maya sound cards with Creative.. Apples and oranges..
