1-      Both pages using the dialogue communication strategies necessary to support the electronic word of mouth.
2-       consumer protection for a fair and equitable market is the strategic goal of both pages, and they differed in the operational goals according to the social and cultural context of both societies.
3-      The semantics of the terms of the communication message used on both pages revealed the difference in the culture of both the Egyptian and American peoples in terms of the extent of adherence to publishing laws and ethics.
4-      There are clear differences in the strategies used for consumer protection, as conducting research, and testing products by experts was the primary strategy used by Consumer reports, while monitoring the markets and highlighting violations were the most important strategies used by Don't shop here to protect consumers.
