Did you do your reviews yourself?

Hey,
Did everyone do their own reviews of poker rooms?

I am working on my reviews section and I think it will take a very long time to review even a few poker rooms.

Did you try every room you reviewed?

Of course we didn't! That would take work man, and work, well it just sucks.

I went to a well known poker site and copied all their reviews so I wouldn't have to put in the effort. I also like to mooch content like articles and such off of other sites.

My motto is why do the work when someone else can do it for you! I prefer, as it appears you do, to sit on my lazy fat ass and steal/and or make crap up. All that "make one page of content a day/add one link a day" that Randy likes to spout off is just garbage.

Wow John,

You really got jumped on there!!

Maybe what John was wondering is if there is a legal and ethical way to get site reviews. Maybe like the poker sponsor themselves offering reviews in the affiliate section. That may not be the best review, but it's something to start with.

Good Luck John,

I wrote every poker review myself for UnknownPoker.com, and I only reviewed poker rooms I've actually played at. I've got several poker rooms on my "to review" list that I haven't gotten around to playing at yet.

Ya, I'm with Randy. I only review sites that I've played at to give my visitors actual personal experience. I used to "poker site hop" with my winnings, so it wasn't too hard to review a lot of sites.

Greetings

I just must put my input on this matter. Now when you steal other sites reviews
and articles, you are only harming your self in the long run. All your visitors want
from your site is UNIQUE content. Now do the following:

1. Check 10 reviews of party poker from diffrent sites.
2. Write down all the stuff in those 10 reviews that agree with each other, this way
you can be sure that the information is correct.
3. Next visit party poker, download, register and start playing for sometime, get
your own inpressions of the room and write a short review.
4. Mix the facts from the 10 sites with the impression you got. Trust me this is the
only way to save time and have unique content.

Most do not even play at the rooms they review. I only comment/review the rooms that I have downloaded and played at.

I have a bunch of "todo's" also, but I just haven't gotten around to it.

Some affiliaite programs have reviews in the marketing tools section, check there first

Only use the reviews in the marketing section of the affiliate program if you don't want very good search engine rankings for your review pages.

Duplicate content is frowned on by all search engines, and it certainly doesn't provide any value to your website traffic.
