UltimateFatBurner.com's Frequently Asked Questions! Got Questions? We Got Answers...

Here you'll find a cross section of the most commonly asked questions by visitors to UltimateFatBurner.com.

Your question may not be answered, of course, and in that case, we welcome you to contact us directly. Please do refer to these questions first though (it will save both you and us some time!)... there is quite a bit of ground covered here.

1) I've been ripped off by a supplement company and I'd like to complain. What do I do?

2) Why are you always beating up on supplements? Why do you post so many negative reviews?

3) I love your site, and I'd love to be able to contribute in order to ensure it's long-term viability. What can I do?

4) I stopped believing in Santa Claus a long time ago. You have to be making money somehow. If it's not through the sale of supplements, how do you do it?

5) I have a product/service that may be of interest to your audience. How can I advertise on this Web site?

6) I have a product/service sold online through an affiliate program. How do I get you to present this product to your audience?

7) Your Web site has really helped me out. I'd like to repay the favor by buying you guys a protein shake. How can I do that?

8) I just read a negative review of a product, and at the same time an ad in the right/left hand column was promoting this same product. What the heck is up with that?

9) Do you actually like any products? Where can I find a list of recommended products and fat burners?

10) I'd like to submit a request for a review. How can I do that?

11) Who are you guys, and why should I "listen" to you?

12) A fat burner retailer keeps sending me a new shipment of products every single month, and I can't them to stop. What can I do?

13) Are you guys hiring? How can I get a job working for UltimateFatBurner.com?

14) Do you receive commissions on products you recommend? If so, how can I trust such recommendations to be credible?

1) In the U.S., submit a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. In Canada, you should launch a complaint with the Canadian Competition Bureau. Worldwide, you will need to check locally to determine the appropriate regulatory bodies.

2) Believe me, we're happy to give credit where credit is due. However, in a competitive marketplace, supplement retailers often try to gain marketshare by marketing more aggressively than their competitors. This leads to an escalating series of ridiculous claims, often having little basis in truth.

In other words, it is very seldom that a product actually lives up to the hype surrounding it.

As for negative product reviews... you don't work for one of these other "review" sites, do you? (Just kidding!). Chances are you are accustomed to seeing tons of positive reviews and no negative reviews. That's because either these reviews are fabricated, or the site does not post negative reviews. We post reviews as we get them... and for most of these products, it's a big thumbs down.

3) One of the best things you can do for us is tell your friends about this site. We at UltimateFatburner.com love and thrive on word-of-mouth publicity. That's what makes us tick!

4) UltimateFatBurner.com generates revenue by...

a) Displaying Google Adsense ads on the content pages of this site (see them here in the right-hand column?). Google shares a portion of the advertising revenue with me on a monthly basis.

b) Earning commissions on recommended diets, e-books, supplements, diets and so on. Some (but not all) of the merchants who have recommended products on this Web site pay me a commission on the sales I generate. This should not concern you. Here's why...

It would be extremely short sighted for us to recommend a product or service that is not in your best interest. The reason why this site is so popular is that we do not engage in such practices.

We purchase and review every product or service we recommend. If it's a diet e-book, we'll read it and post a review. If it's a worthwhile purchase, we'll tell you. If it's not, we'll tell you that, too. In other words, we earn our commissions by providing you with a valuable service -- by ensuring you don't waste your money on a product that either doesn't work or is not right for you!

5) You can't... at least not directly. UltimateFatBurner.com does not sell advertising. In order to have your ads appear on UltimateFatBurner.com you will need to advertise with Google AdWords. e

6) Before contacting us through this form, take a good look at this site. Will your product and service really add value to our visitors? Is it a genuine, high quality product sold at a good price, and backed by a money-back guarantee and stellar customer service?

Remember... our first concern is our visitors -- we will not introduce an inferior product to our visitors simply for monetary gain.

Please be advised that there is no guarantee we will represent your product -- it may be that your product does not address the needs of the visitors to this Web site, or your product provides benefits already provided by products or services currently represented on UltimateFatBurner.com. Or, we're simply not interested (and we do not promote MLM products!).

8) Please be sure to differentiate between editorial content and advertising.

This is no different than opening up your favorite newspaper and seeing an ad for a top selling beer directly across from an article on the dangers of alcohol abuse.

The article is "editorial", and the ad is "advertising". The two exist together in almost any media. The Internet is no different. Since our ads are randomly generated by Google, and may differ according to where in the world you are located, we have absolutely no idea what ads are being served on what pages, short of knowing they meet Google's standards for good taste.

So while you may occassionally see an ad featured on the same page as a review, remember -- the article is editorial, and the ad is advertising -- just like in any media, it's one of the necessary evils of business.

12) In all likelihood you will need to contact your bank and cancel your credit card. We've received all sorts of horror stories from visitors who moved heaven and earth to stop these monthly shipments to no avail. Cancelling your credit card and obtaining another is really your only option (one visitor wrote in to tell us she told her credit card company her card had been lost... they cancelled the old card and issued a new one immediately).

Special note: Most retailers use "free trial" offers as bait to obtain your credit acrd and then add you to a "recurring billing program." We call this tactic the 5-7 Day Free Trial Scam and you can learn more about it here!

13) Occassionally UltimateFatBurner.com is in need of part time writers. If you have the ability to communicate articulately and effectively on "digital paper", and you're passionate about some element of weight loss, fitness, or body building, you can always send us your vital stats.

14) Yes, we do earn a small commission on the referred sales of some (but not all) products. We occassionally receive e-mail from individuals who question our ethics, credibility, and integrity for doing so. The fact of the matter is that it is not unethical to earn commissions on referred sales, provided those referrals are made in the best interests of our visitors.

In other words, if the science and supporting evidence behind the product merits a recommendation, we'll make it (you can read a full discussion of the criteria required for an UltimateFatBurner.com recommendation on this page). If it doesn't, we don't. It's that simple.

Many people are looking for credible products that will help them attain their goals, so such referrals provide a valuable service.

You'll also notice that our recommendations are frank, honest, and reflective of reality. For instance, in a recent review of Biotivia's BioForge, Elissa states...

"... Bio Forge looks like it could provide a modest boost to a fat loss program and assist with retention of lean body mass.

But the key word here is modest. NONE of these ingredients are new or "revolutionary", after all. They've been used in supps before, so it's not hard to get a handle on just what to expect from a formula like this.

Basically, someone who's mildly zinc deficient (which is common enough) and has some surplus fat to lose will likely see some good, initial results with this product. But no one's going to get big on it—and if you're zinc-sufficient and already have some muscle on your frame, I doubt it'll do much of anything for you... the effects will be subtle, at best."

This is followed by a link where you can purchase the product, should you so desire. And yes, we would receive a small commission from such a purchase. But if you do buy the product, you are doing so on an accurate assessment of products abilities, based on a thorough analysis of the ingredient profile. No touting of outrageous hype. No "upselling" or exaggerating the benefits in order to earn a commission.

Secondly, there are real costs involved in running a large site like UltimateFatBurner.com. Not only is it my full time job, we have several employees on staff. As you can imagine, nobody works for free. Many times too, we sample the products we review—and that also incurrs a cost.

We need to supplement our ad revenue income with referral commissions in order to stay afloat. Remember, there are no fees to use UltimateFatBurner.com, nor do we have any interest in moving to a paid membership format. It's more important to us that everyone have access to impartial, science-based reviews.

Yes, it pays to suspicious and skeptical, when so many online review sites make their living referring visitors to overpriced, overhyped products for huge referral fees. But if you read our reviews, and our frank assessments of the various retailers' claims, the difference should be obvious. After all, UltimateFatBurner.com is the only 10-year supplement review web site on the Net.

That alone should speak volumes.
