Writing Honest Reviews and Conversions

[scrawnybob]

hi

really interesting thread this -

I think you can be honest and upbeat and appropriately negative - but at the end of the day - say you are going to review 10 sites or 20 or 30 or 50

why would you ever intentionally pick and review sites that totally totally suck ? or sites that you can see no merit in - therefore IMHO while the whole points scoring is very subjective as affiliate and as sites wanting to be credible - you wouldnt have any reviews of sites you really would genuinely score a 0/10 or a 1/10

so they may as well all be in the 6 /10 - 8/10 band - which admittedly becomes a bit pointless

plus its all personal - for me I dont like playing a certain top 2/3 site as I think the graphics are rubbish - but clearly loads of people love it

so I describe the graphics as "old skool" but the players are very easy to beat - not so negative but pretty honest without putting off people who would like it - and directing people who would hate it away to something else

so many people like so many different sites for different reasons - IMHO you've almost got to just give them the facts / info broken down and they sort out their own priorities from the information

some people would play at any functioning site for a 100% up to $2500 bonus regardless of the looks or tournaments - while another doesnt care about bonus but wants traffic and regalar shots at WSOP etc

I'm really shocked I have a bunch of people signing up at a room that I start their reviews first couple paragraphs really bashing the room. I'm being paid $125 CPA for each sign up and I've gotten quite a few of them recently. For the most part what had happened is I pulled the room, but I left the review linked in one single place on my site. I edited the review to give a very clear warning how payout speed is horrendous and how customer support sucks these day. I say if you willing to wait months to cash out and don't mind poor support then there are a lot of good reasons to play at this site.. then go on further in the review to list them.

All of a sudden I'm getting a few sign ups per month at this site and i have no idea why. Also all my ratings jumped way up for the site too. For the single search term of the poker rooms name I'm #4 on Google and the description shows the negative part.
