Sponsors:I'm needing sites to review

[Relentless]

Good luck with your new review site. After you have 50 original reviews published on it, please contact me. I can help you grow beyond that very quickly, but there are so many review sites that I don't work with them until they are beyond the 50 review mark.

On the other hand, if you do your job well enough as a reviewer (or more specifically, provide plenty of detail rather than just very general info and comments, though that's certainly also one way to do things), you probably won't get many trial signups - you've likely already managed to convince the surfer to either go for a full membership, or stay away from a site entirely.

As a sidenote though - from memory I think the vast majority of the sites I've given the highest scores over the last two years don't actually offer trials (and they are usually also revshare rather than PPS).
Not sure if there's a pattern between site quality (keeping in mind that a review is obviously just a personal opinion, though there are of course obvious facts like content volume and technical quality) and typical billing and webmaster payout types , but sometimes it certainly seems so.

BadWolf, you shouldn't have edited that out -- there is a reason people are banned from forums.

I agree with relentless on the 50 reviews, though. A webmaster on Netpond asked for trades and since his site was new but he was established, I figured I'd help him out. I put up his link but gee, he never put mine up for his shemale review site. So he bled my traffic for a week or two until I noticed it.

thank you Dutch Harry for defending me, and oooo okay I wasn't sure how many posts to have before sponsors would want me to review them. I have two sponsors so far that want me to review their sites, and I'm going to go from there writing reviews of other sites as best as i can

SW, once you get the site set up let me know and I can trade some links with some of my review sites. Also look into setting up reciprocal link RSS feeds for more traffic.

okay will do sweetie, thank you

It goes against my true nature but I'm making an effort to be polite these days.

Question for Pam, you have a few review sites i believe, do you recycle the reviews or have new ones written each time?

If SilentWhispers won't mind the hijack -- I have new reviews written all the time. The old ones just sit in the database. With some that are nearly 4 years old I'm about to contact many of those sponsors and ask to rereview them.

[silentwhispers]

okay I did like Videorob said and ocontacted my 5 top sponsors, and asked if I could review their sites. So we'll see how it goes

This is helpful info for anyone considering a review site.... including SilentWhispers so it's not really a hijack.

EVERY review must be 100% original text. If you copy text from one site to another (even if you own both sites) the search engines will wreck your rankings for using duplicate text.

Even worse, if you make the error in judgment of copy/pasting even a few paragraphs from someone else's review site you run the risk of being C&Ded or sued for copyright infringement (the same way you could be for stealing videos from any paysite) and search engines will see that the text on your site is identical to an earlier published page on the site it was copied from which eventually get you sandboxed. Not to mention, no other review site owner will do business with someone who is caught copy/pasting reviews.

As the owner of a review site you are in effect selling the text on your site to your members. The whole reason they come to your site and bookmark it is because they enjoy reading it and they trust what you have to say. Nothing is more important to your own success than the quality and exclusivity of your reviews. It is why all the successful review sites use only 100% original text for each review.... and why owning review sites is a lot more work than many people think it might be.

I run several review sites of my own and have written reviews for sites owned by many others. There are paysites I have reviewed as many as 16 times so far. While the information in all 16 versions of the review may be similar, the text and the way each is written is completely new and exclusive from all of the other versions. To give you an idea, here are two reviews of the same exact site posted on two of my review sites. The "voice", tone, text, pictures.... everything about each is completely different... even though they are both about the same site:

TheTongue.net Review of VideosZ

BiReviews.com Review of VideosZ

Sorry for the long reply. It's a very important thing for any review site owner or writer to understand and it's something too many are somehow unaware of unfortunately. I hope the informative reply helps.

i wasn't suggesting that at all, i just know that Pam runs a few review sites and i just wondered if she used the same review across the sites.

to be honest, i dont think having duplicate content is that big a SE problem really especially if you have filled sidebars, other text on the page and good "H" tags ect ... although obviously 100% original text is preferable.

[pam]

Actually, I misunderstood your question, Rogue, so the answer is yes, I use the same reviews. I've not suffered in the search engines using duplicate content, though, and get traffic and sales on the minor sites. Each is on its own domain

Yeah, I did not mean my post to sound 'accusatory', I didn't think you were suggesting that but figured I'd give a complete reply because so many people read these threads.

As to a page with a mix of new and original text, that gives you a mix of a chance to get sandboxed and a chance not to get sandboxed. With the cost of creating and maintaining a quality review site being so high (in terms of dollars, time spent and effort) it isn't worth the risk. Obviously doing it with your own text won't harm anyone else and may be worth a try... doing it with someone else's is where some people run into more serious problems.

Original reviews can be bought from competent writers or you can write them yourself. That really is the only way for your review site to develop its own voice. Surfers are looking for a specific kind of review site, not a generic one. If you read Pams or Thebestporn or fetishfish or thetongue or gaydemon etc they each have a unique point of view that is crafted to entertain specific kinds of surfers. Copying text (even your own text from your site to another of your sites) doesn't allow your site to have that unique quality.

Keep in mind who is using a review site. It's someone who actually likes to read text, to shop around before making a purchase and someone who is not particularly trusting (otherwise they would not be on a review site in the first place). It's not the same surfers who use TGPs to find their entertainment.

They expect originality, honesty and current information. Copying your content or anyone else's text content allows you to provide none of the above in my opinion. I run several review sites and each of them uses completely exclusive text. Though it sure would be easier if it did because then I wouldn't be writing 16 reviews of the same site from scratch heh.

[silentwhispers]

okay I'm still working on the site but I did two reviews the best that I could, and the rest of the reviews are from hunkmoney in which they provided the actual reviews for me. if any sponsors or anyone want to take a look it's at Amazing Porn Reviews , like I said I'm still working on it tonight so it's not ready to be submitted to search engines, or anything yet. Want to have at least 20 reviews before I do that

[pam]

Do you want a critique on it? For example, on the 18eighteen Review? I don't want to give advice if you don't want it

sure, now on the 18eighteen and Raven Riley I didn't have any member's area access so was just writing on what I could see by their free tours, and main pages, I would love for you to critique it though cause I need to learn how to do it right
