yeah, but that's why most review sites hire reviewers. i make no more - or less - money whether the review site makes sales or not. and the truth is even sites with negative reviews get traffic and sales. so why compromise your honesty - and your ability to hold onto bookmarkers - when you make sales either way?

i worked with a program with sites that one review site said had lackluster content, girls who had been seen all over the net and there were other things they didn't like. their traffic converted between 1:64 and 1:112, and they made sales every single day. so why lie?
