What a pain in the feet that was!

Well, in my last post I talked about how some internet scammers pretend to be "physiotherapists" I wrote that post when I got annoyed when my feet started hurting a while back and I started searching around for some good insoles to help solve my aching feet I noticed that when I searched on Google I was bombarded with fake advise and people pretending to be specialist physiotherapists trying to sell you cheaply made Chinese imported insoles costing £30.. way way to expensive if you ask me.... or custom insoles which looked no different to the cheap alternatives which were even more money over £100.. eek! It is always good to go for the top results on google "organic listings" not the google adwords listings as anyone with money can buy themselves to the top of the ads on google... I once got scammed by someone on google ads.. never got what I ordered! Anyway the top results on google tend to be the more established sites that have gained their rankings thanks to links which act as votes of recommendation to the site.. but some smart scammers can "game" this system and vote for themselves by creating links so not always the top results are the best.
It really can be hard finding some insoles.. especially ones right for you. It took me ages. I kept on running into sites that just were either way to expensive or had advise that contradicted advise I had read on another site.... so who do I trust? My feet started hurting a while back now... got foot cramps, pain the lot! I dont know what brought it on... maybe I over did it when I went running one time or something...
Well, after hours of research and still with aching feet, I eventually found some good insoles which I have been wearing ever since...Didn't find them from google though but one of my friends suggested I go on In the name of sport and buy some from there after I spend hours trying to find some good ones and even longer complaining to my friends how I couldn't find some and how badly my feet hurt... (wish he told me sooner to be honest and saved me a whole headache) I guess the moral of this story is the internet is useless.. and word of mouth from people you know is the best way to find out what to buy... because there is far too much snakeoil and spammers lurking on the internet.
