I've been searching on this forum for thoughts on the value of Review Site Submission?
We've spent the last day submitting our new sites to over 150 review sites. About 20 have responded and another 15 or so have signed up as affiliates.
Curious if the experienced members believer review submission is worthwhile?
Thoughts?
Robert
Review sites are great, and you have a list of 150!!!!
It would be great if you could post a list of all those sites for everyone!
is it worth submitting your site to review sites? are you kidding?
i assume you're new at this. review sites not only have their own traffic, but each and every review, due to the text and relevancy, brings in fresh search engine traffic. sure, there are some small ones that won't do a thing for you, but overall review traffic sells great - really great!
consider this - whether your site rocks or sucks, accurate descriptions of this level mean every single guy a review site sends is expecting to find what you offer. unlike any other traffic, these guys have been warned of your site's shortcoming and told of your best points - and they chose to click that link.
in fact, i was so enthused about review site traffic that i ended up becoming a site reviewer for a number of review sites ;)
Here is a list of about 60 or so best onesQuote:

Some of my best affiliates are review sites, so these are very much worthwhile.
Get listing! Not just for traffic and reviews, but also for inbound links! All of these sites linking back to yours will help build your position in the search engine ranks.
a lot of review sites - well, most of them - don't link to your site using your link or your domain. the link on their site is usually a tracking link using their own domain. does that help much when it comes to inbound links? we have over 150 affilaites linked to man of muscle, yet alexa says we have only 1 inbound.

You know, I didn't think of that when I was sending the post. True, if the link isn't to you, but rather via their internal tracking system, it won't give you the backlink! Good catch, and thanks for pointing that out!
Still, the traffic is good enough to warrant the time it takes! (as long as you are getting good reviews...)
even bad reviews make sales. i wrote a review of a site and honestly said it offered nothing but 24 non-exclusive pic sets, didn't fulfill all the tour promises and had no vids - and both the site owner and gaydemon tell me that that review sold like crazy.
i used to work with a program that had 3 lukewarm reviews on thebestporn and those sites got sales from those reviews every day.
review site traffic rocks :)

I have a small review site. Honest and brutal reviews of paysites.
The surfers are tired seeking a review site that is writtten totally positive or presents reviews years old.
But as Basschick wrote, any review, be it good or bad, gets notice via SE.
there's no question that review sites can be valuable tools for driving traffic - and, you know how important "tools" can be in our business.....
Just one correction to the list of sites. This is one of my sites:
http://www.reelguys.org/home.html
and it is MOVIE reviews, not site reviews.
Thanks for the list, though.
If your site has teen/twink content (18-25) I'm happy to add it to my review site. PM me if I can be of any help.
You forgot FetishFish.com! That is if you have some whips and chains we can play with ;)
You also forget http://www.gay-porn-pig.com.
However, as of March 2, when I redesigned, refocused, and relaunched the site, I'm only reviewing site in the "real man" market, i.e. hairy men, older men, bears, leather men, blue collar, muscle men, and fetish.
Cheers
Michael
This is one very usefull thread :)
I have heard some webmasters accuse the larger review sites of "stealing" sales. The idea is that the surfer sees the site for the first time on one webmaster's site/freesite/blog whatever, then decides to check a good review site before buying. He gets to the review sites, get re-cookied and the review site gets the sale.
I guess that means that review sites are indeed more credible, and thus get much better conversions. As a paysite owner, by all means, definitely get reviews out there, but I would consider focusing on the big review sites, the ones with more traffic and more credibility (i.e. reputation/branding).
I went through that list and deleted about half - either they don't have a "gay" category, or haven't done an update in a long time.
at least when i write the reviews, i always include positive aspects of even the worst site. there's only ever been one site i had nothing good to say about - and it didn't allow members to access the content at all *lol*
and here's the way thebestporn.com does it
http://www.thebestporn.com/review/papi/
notice they include the good with the bad. so if someone is looking for something new or something in that niche, they know exactly what they're getting. and telling the surfers exactly what they're getting sells better than anything else i've ever tried.

yeah well, since posting here a few days ago, we're rocketing to success with all of the very positive reviews we have been getting re: our new site barebackMasters - and we're not even bribing anyone!
I think at last count, we've probably submitted to only 20 or so to date
today's review at http://gaywebsitereviews.com/ - totally rocks and is completely honest - hitting us over the head with the whole bareback issue and in our favor - I appreciate the honesty of the review....
