Product face-offsStarted in 2004 as lesnumeriques.com, we were one of the first on-line magazine devoted to testing numeric products. Each day we publish a large variety of comparative tests of products from GPS, to LCD TVs, to digital cameras. Our mission is to make results from our product evaluations of use for those who have little technical expertise. Our final objective is that everyone find the product that best suits their needs and at the best price.
Our Editor in Chief, Vincent Alzieu, is responsible for operations, choice of content and has been here since the beginning.
The site is published by Factory Eleven, an independant limited liability press company.
We share our offices with with a few other French sites (HardWare.fr, Focus-Numerique.com and Lesnumeriques.com).
Our income comes from three areas. The first is from price comparisons, which is a partnership with the site Pricerunner. Each product tested gives you access to a list of sites and its prices. Each click on a price gives us a few cents. The advantage of this is that we don't pick the sites, PriceRunner makes this choice and we earn the same amount whomever you click. This ensures total independance from any one site and we have no interest in promoting one or another. In terms of manufacturers, it's the same situation. Whether you buy an Ipod from Apple or a Cowon MP3 player, this makes no difference to us. In this way we can recommend brands and websites to buy your products with total independance.
The second area is advertising. Once again to ensure our impartiality we've opted for external management. Two organisations (BestOfMedia and Google) make all decisions independantly; negociate the contracts, manage the web posting, quantity, duration, format, servers, etc. We only have one power and that is to refuse certain ads. We've done this on several occassions for on-line casinos and gambling, erotic sites, etc.
Finally, we sell our articles to magazines. For lack of time, this is an activity we no longer develop. We are content and have enough to do just being on the Internet.
One last thing...There was our sincere motives in starting this site (and you just have to take our word for it), which we did without any financial support. Digital versus was founded by four friends with money out of their own pockets.
