Review Sites Question

9 replies
Is it pointless to do Review Sites for CPA now or other
type of Review Sites since Google is cracking down on them?

If it is still good to do them, then how do you make
them Google loved so they approve them now?

I am new to CPA and would like some feedback
on this.

All opinions appreciated!

Thanks,
Cyndi

    Pointless...no. Google, like most people, doesn't like those spammy obvious cash grabbing review sites.

    The trick, if you can call it that, is to think about what the reader actually wants. If you make a good review site (even try some products or find someone who has) and provide genuine content then you'll do great.

    A little more workand you'll cash in.


    Cheers,

      Thank you Jonathan! I for sure don't want to do a spammy
      site, but wanted to make sure if I do the work on it, I
      would not be wasting my time.

        Best of luck Cyndi with the website. Remember, it will take hard work and a while to build up, especially on a part time effort. I've not seen too many exception from friends of mine.

        No problem Cyndi, and good luck.

        I'm working on a review site right now for a popular diet ebook (clickbank product). I had a friend that wanted to lose weight so I bought him a copy on the condition that he keep a weekly journal.

        He's writing down what he likes, what he doesn't like and how it's working for him.

        Now this is kind of more work than you need to go to but at the same time all he is doing is writing down a quick note about what he is doing in a blog...takes almost no time.

        At the end we'll have a real honest review, a real story with a real person and people (and Google) will love it. Lots of natural long tail keywords in the entries and something that we can legitiamtely share in the forums and social bookamrking sites.

        Just an example of an approach I use. And I use this approach with other product reviews too in any niche.

        Cheers,

        Jonathan

          Once again.... thank you Jonathan for
          your GREAT feedback!

          I have been wanting to tackle CPA for
          a year now, and just got busy with other things.
          Last year I got signed up with all the networks
          and that is as far as it went! lol

          So 2010 I made a vow to give it a try, and here
          I am.

          Love your approach and will work on a
          method that gives me also the google love!

          I just wanted some "Warrior Help" and as always.......
          I got just what I needed.

          My best,
          Cyndi

            Google doesn't seem to like the one page review sites, but if you set up a site that has articles and other content related to the topic and not just a blatent sales pitch you should be fine.

            Good Luck

              Like they said, make it several pages. I do
              best setting up wordpress blog.

              Post review and follow up 5 or 6 days in a roll
              with posts relating back to the product that
              I'm reviewing.

              Use different keywords in each post and make sure
              you have done keyword research to know you
              will have keywords that will be searched on.
