The Relationship Between "tested content" and Paid Advertising:

The BarberShopMall.net lists web sites in various (more than one) categories based on advertiser placement and billing preferences. For example, a web site that sells shoes and socks might choose to be listed in both categories. The individual web site is tested and identical test scores are posted in both listing categories.

All web sites in the BarberShopMall.net have been tested. Over 2500 of the BarberShopMall.net web site listings will be paid listings after taking advantage of a free trial period. Free tests and free lists will be included for larger companies that the BarberShopMall.net considers to be of prime interest to consumers.

No web site is listed in the BarberShopMall.net that does not adhere to strict codes of conduct.

The "Top 100 Sites" do not pay extra for appearing in this category. They are automatically chosen by software based on their score ranking. They are ranked within the top 100 from all sites within the database.

The BarberShopMall.net Security Seals

As clearly noted on the BarberShopMall.net, the BarberShopMall.net security seal is provided free of charge to all web sites that have been tested by the BarberShopMall.net and have publicly visible test scores on the BarberShopMall.net’s web site. These seals provide convenient consumer links from a merchant web site to the web site’s test scores. It is considered illegal to display the BarberShopMall.net security seal without complete testing and BarberShopMall.net approval.
