Review Blog System

2 Comments

You may have noticed a few “systems” lately doing the rounds showing you how to create review sites, or – more specifically – review blogs.

It’s not really a new idea , but it seems to have caught the eye of many marketers and so you start to get many copycat systems.

The thought behind this is that people, when looking for a product, will first search the Internet for reviews or opinions on that product to make an informed decision. You, as a marketer, will tap into that mindset in order to provide those reviews – and then reap affiliate commissions, ad revenue, or whatever.

There is a tricky moral issue at play here since in the affiliate situation, the reviews are unlikely to be unbiased. But if you’re happy with that, go ahead! There are a few workarounds, of course – like sprinkling bad reviews around… for products you do not want to promote (lol). And liberally using messages such as “This site uses affiliate links in order to support our hosting costs. The price of the products do not change whether you use our link or not – you are simply helping to keep this site operational. However, if you do wish to access the product directly you can use the “plain” links provided at xxxx. We are 100% unbiased and do not wish you to think we are only providing these reviews for the revenue…” . Or similar. You’ve probably seen such notices before :)

The good news is although I’m being a little harsh here these Review sites can work – and work very well indeed. A quick template, and you can add content regularly to increase your search engine profile. You aim to have to many pages interlinked with each other, and with descriptive titles and URLs. A few basic link building techniques later and a good ranking can be yours.

You don’t have to get your income from direct affiliate links, either. Adsense or other ads, such as Kontiki, can work well – since people searching for reviews are in a purchasing frame of mind. And this site format lends itself to niche sites of all kinds and sizes.

As I said at the start, there are a number of products out there that aim to automate or simplify a review site in some way. An early proponent of the idea was the “Conduit System” by Chris Rempel at the Lazy Marketer. He later provided extras to the method.

Here’s another system that’s just come to my attention. It’s called the Review Blog System and it features a clean and attractive wordpress theme, with ratings and other extras such as “Most Popular Reviews” etc.

The best part is this:

The theme itself is only $17 and and you get the full package including the theme itself, the plugins, and extra header images you can use.

Or you can get the larger package that is ideal for those unfamiliar with the whole process of installing a working wordpress / theme combination. This features an automatic installer, tutorial videos, editable graphics, and much more. This is a true plug & play option.

Whatever you decide, take a look at the informative site here and at the sample site they’ve provided. You’ll see how review sites can rank high and how professional they can look.

PS. This system has been used widely for most “Internet Marketing” launches, as you can see if you search for any product such as “Google Nemesis” or whatever. You’ll get pages of “Google Nemesis Review” and “Google Nemesis Scam?” and such like. However, this system works well for any niche you can think of, especially those you can work via Clickbank. Try some brainstorming, and see what you come up with!

      I have found the fastest and easiest way to make review sites to be NicheDominator (http://sn.im/nichedominator). Takes about 2 minutes to make a site.

      This is a great article. I know Chris and his system is simple, yet genius. I’m very intrigued by this review blog system as I’m always in need of a quick, corner-cut solution to getting offers up and running.

      As I don’t dance in the PPC realm as of yet, It’s very important that I get sites up and running fast because I need to spend as much time as possible doing keyword research and link building to get the Google top spots and organic traffic flowing.

      Good stuff man.
