@MysteryFCM. You’re right. That’s probably what a professional editor would have done.

Changing the title of the post to reflect what the site *really* is, would be a heck of alot better, irrespective of whether the permalink is different. It’s all about trust, and misleading isn’t a good way to earn that trust.

Perhaps a good option would be to change the title, and add a note to the article to reflect the change (tis what I do when writing articles that require updates)

Yeah, I think I started this confusion. I emailed Guy a couple of questions before I put this post up. The most important one was whether HostMonk was planning to add customer satisfaction data to their comparison. I felt this was a critical success factor for the website. Guy affirmed that they did have this planned, so I wrote the post based on that. What I was trying to say was that if they add customer reviews or ratings of some sort, the site will be an valuable resource.

I edited the title after a few hours to remove the word ‘reviews’, but by then the post had made it to Digg, so I had to edit it back (because I didn’t want the onscreen title and the permalink to be different).

@MysteryFCM There must have been a misunderstanding – HostMonk is a hosting comparison site, not a review site (I believe Roy had a small technical issue correcting the title post publication of this blog, which he definitely tried to do).

If you look around the site you’ll see our focus is, deliberately, on data-based comparison. Our slogan is “impartial web hosting comparison”. Our differentiation from the other sites is simple: what you see is what you get – YOU control which plans you see and order in which they are listed.
