FAQ and review website

13 replies
Hello fellows,

The other day I started a review website to promote a CB product, The website name is like the productnamereview.com.
I am going to say what the product is and how it does what it does (I never used the product so the review won't be based on my experience -- so I'll just write about the product, what it is and how it works--).

I have added a FAQ menu to the review website and explain about the product with questions/answers (like say why the product work and how to buy it, etc). So my question:
Is it normal for a review website like this to have a FAQ section?


Thank you.

      Thank you,

      So you mean that the idea of FAQ itself works here in a review website? And I should just take care of the content I add to the FAQ page? According my YT video ---which is about the product- people mostly ask how it works, some who don't know who to purchase a digital product ask how to do that!!! The questions are something like these. So what do you mean please by the bold part?

      Than you mate.

Search Google, and answer sites like yahooanswers, and find out exactly what questions people are asking about your product, and use their questions in your FAQ exactly the way they write them. Then do variations of this longtail keyword in your answers to their questions. If you do this, and push your site up in the rankings, your site will be the number one place people go when they have a question about the product your selling.
          Thank you so much, for the idea.

          I have several of the main questions taken from my YT comment section (I have answered those questions after emailing the questions to my vendor). But your idea seems great as well, Thanks for it.

          So the idea of a FAQ page in a 'review' website works as I noticed, right?

    For your website to be a legitimate value, then you have to know the product much better than I would and any other visitors that will visit your site. So for starters, message the affiliate and tell him/her that you're building a site completely to sell their one product and ask them for a sample. They will send it to you for free and you should play with it for days before writing another word.

    Next, look at all the other affiliate sites for that product and see what they did. Then ask yourself....if you were looking to buy that item, what do the other affiliates not talk about? What would you have to know to make you a buyer? That's the information that should be on your site, and you should be as detailed as possible. If the item has five main features...then write a paragraph about each on a main page and 4-5 paragraphs on sub-pages for each feature. Make your FAQ cover every possible question a customer can have as well.....the more you provide in an organized way, the better.

    Also, make a few video reviews of the product where you're telling your own opinion...make yourself an expert on it and people will believe you. That's impossible to do without researching the product yourself though, so get your hands on it.

    I hope that helps.

      Thank you mate.

      I have done all of those before. I have got the full version of the product from my vendor who I am working with him for almost 3 years on this product.

      So you believe that have a FAQ page is normal to be used for a review website like this, right? I am going to let the visitors to know that I have got to product from my vendor and may be able to answer their possible questions, is this professional to be done in the FAQ page as well? Sorry for my stupid questions, I am a newbie who never had established a website before.

      Sorry, I am not sure what you mean by generic here. The product has special uses and it is not popular right now between the users by its name....

    So you're going to review a product that you've never used.

    In my mind, this practice is not only misleading, it is akin to fraud. Even if you base your "review" on other people's reviews, how can you lead consumers to the conclusion that you've reviewed the product? Isn't it normal that a reviewer has 1st hand experience with something?

    I'm sorry, but if I were wanting to make a purchase I would be looking for a review based on legitimate and honest personal evaluation.

    Is it any wonder that Internet marketers, as a whole, have disgraced their own profession when stuff like this goes on?

      I pulled my products from ClickBank long ago because it is a cesspool of affiliate fraud. ClickBank won't do anything about it.

      Isn't it odd how virtually every site with the domain product name + review ends up being a glowing and positive review?

      ---

      I don't know what product we are talking about in this thread, but if the OP did a "feature comparison review" based on publicly available information that would be different.

      Example: comparing the factual features of two cameras such cost, size, weight, options, pixels, refund policies, etc.

      .

        Thanks for our reply,

        Yes I know that most of the CB products are not so good, But I don't think so for the product I am promoting for some reasons..

        Sorry, but what's wrong with a domain like "product name + review" if you technically talk about the product and what exactly it does?

      Thank you Steve for your reply,

      I wrote something in this regard in my above posts.

      As I told the product is not suitable for me to be used by myself -and I don't like to cheat anybody-, so how I can have a review based my personal experience!
      I just promote that product in YT for years, and now I am going to have a technical review about it after looking at the full version of it.

    Hi mates again.

    Why you attack me!

    What was wrong in my sayings here?

    I have promoted the product I am talking about for 3 years in YouTube. I have got the full version of it from my vendor so that take a look at it and write a review about it then.
    more than 100 people asked different questions in the comment section of my video which I think not only can reflect that the product works, but can be used in the FAQ page of my review website.
    The review is not based my experience because it is not fit for me (for instance do you use an acne book for instance if don'y have acne!)! And no it is not a review based comparison of 2 or several products. It is a review which just explains what you will find in the book and how it is going to help you (say how many page it has and what contents it gets). As I told the people who asked their questions in the comment section of my YT video are the best source for me to add a FAQ page to my review website, but the problem was that I have never had a website of any kind, so I asked here if it is normal for a review website like this -ie a review website- to have a FAQ page or it is better they don't have something like that?
    I don't want to cheat anybody to sell something because I don't see this moral.

    Finally as I know there are 3 kinds of review websites in the world! 1: which is based your personal experience of something you are writing about... 2: a review which compares 2 or more products...
    3: A review which talks about the different aspects of the product after looking or reading the product itself
