There are literally 1000s of sites online that call themselves review sites and probably less than 100 that are actual review sites. Throwing up a blog on wordpress with a bunch of made up reviews that do not tell the consumer much of anything about a paysite is not the same thing as actually reviewing 100s of paysites with a meaningful scoring system and detailed reviews that give the consumer an idea of what is inside the members area of 100s or 1000s of sites.

Review sites do make money. Review sites also do take a lot of time and effort to produce well. Keep in mind quality review sites have existed for years and built loyal followings among consumers, so throwing up a new review site that is no different from existing sites will be unlikely to attract much. Build something unique and innovative and people will use it... build something copying someone else, or something that is not actually helpful to consumers and it will fail.

If you do build a quality review site be sure to contact me and I will get it included in the WebmasterScore review site submitter system for you.
