Yes they still do work although it's not as easy as slapping together a 2-3 page EMD site and blasting it with crappy links. A lot more emphasis on good, quality content with some High PR backlinks from relevant sites

I currently have one in the coffee niche that's just starting to climb up the SERP's and looks promising.

Thanks

Funny enough i still see this being done with success but only with a twist not on your own domain. I see some interesting sites ranking out there so it seems the concept has changed.

This. Nowaday's and inside of today's SEO world, review sites MUST all have quality, relevant, unique content, as well as being genuine and offer your site visitors an honest review as opposed to simply trying to promote a crappy product just looking to make a quick buck.

Yes, they still work beautifully when you don't do them like an idiot...which is how everyone else does them for the most part. No, I won't tell you anything or suggest anything to you relating to profitable review sites because that's like asking me for money. Now if you made it worth my while....

People are still scraping reviews and posting them as "content". Look at all the *-azon plugins.

My opinion, based on my behavior?

Some review sites still work. Like most things in this space, it comes down to execution.

The typical review site is so bad or so me-too generic that the only people who might still trust them are those that have never seen one before. The average buyer isn't stupid, contrary to some opinions. By the time they've read the same reviews, in the same format, using essentially the same theme, on a few sites, the light bulb comes on and they reflexively discount those sites.

The crappy two-page EMD review site was a cheap search engine exploit that was doomed from the start. Kind of like the old cookie-cutter Made For Adsense sites.

I'd just make the suggestion that you be fair when you do your reviews. Don't make it sound too much like you're pushing the product even if it's a great product. You can accentuate the positive, but try to include some of the negatives too and you'll be much more believable.

Make sure to include a list of pros and cons towards the end of the review. Most of all, find some product review sites and look at how the nicest ones are set up and written. Try to use them as an example.

I believe reviews are one of the best methods for selling products online. I hope you do well.

Thanks

I gotta think it works really well .. ranks super highly from what I see, probably
"steals" organic traffic of the vendor (i.e. someone learns about the product from the vendors site and then reads your review and you get the affiliate cookie) and is a good way in general to convince people.

They still work well if you use unique content. Copy and pasting reviews no longer works.

Review sites don't work. Now one trusts them and you will just spend ages writing content that doesn't mean jack.

  Hundreds of thousands of unique visitors a week...

  And I would never buy from a review site so he's not alone.
  
  It's a tough market nowadays in my opinion.
  
  That and I know the people typically behind them.

  Review sites DO work.
  When I first started out in IM, my first venture was doing review sites for physical Amazon products.
  
  I had a good wordpress theme that worked well for review sites and I wrote all my own reviews and did not just copy and paste. This was very time consuming so I chose to review only high ticket items and had some of the least amount of competition as far as other people trying to rank in the search engines for the same keywords I was going after.
  
  My websites were actually converting at a surprisingly high ratio but that was not the problem. The problem was RANKING those websites and KEEPING them ranked. To me it felt like the Google dance never stopped with my websites and I could never predict a reliable source of income from them.
  
  I would not trade it, however. I learned a lot about SEO and affiliate marketing in general. I have since moved onto other types of affiliate marketing. Currently I usually choose ONLY items/services ect that will pay me residually every month. I also depend more on paid advertising to build my list.
  
  This is another problem with review sites for physical products. It is hard to build and monetize a list from them. Now if you are planning on doing review sites for IM/MMO products and services, you could most likely form a lucrative list a lot easier.
  
  Just my two cents.
  Hope it helped and I wish you the best of luck with your IM career!

Yes, reviews site works.

Personally like to review products on TV Show program as
people are most likely to search for them on Google.

Try targeting keyword like "(Product Name) Reivews" or "Where to buy (product names)

You can easily rank them within one month with proper SEO.
