Now one way this site could be a slam dunk is if people who are about to join a membership site go to livereview to check it out before they buy. For example, I am about to signup to ClaudiaMarie, i think its a nice site but before i signup to anything i go check it out at LiveReview first. So in this case I am not going there to search a lot of reviews to find a good site, I am using them as check to make sure a site I am about to signup to is legit or a scam. In this case, the sale Robbie was about to make 100% of he would then have to split with the review site. Would be great for the review site if everyone used them that way, but I know some affiliate programs that would be pissed about people taking "their traffic".  since the person was about to signup and found the site on their own. |
why is it such a "slamdunk" for this review site alone? this is just another review site, and they are starting out with no traffic, there are already many great review sites out there, and many of those rank high and get traffic, just because this one has video doesn't make it the end-all of reviews, ...
thinking this over this actually reminded me of one of my pet peeves, when a company uses video to put out some important information, when text would be way more efficient....
I hate having to watch through a video when I actually want information (google adsense did that recently, I clicked on something they said would give more info on a certain issue and was led to a video on the topic... I closed it 3 seconds in, I would have scanned a text block about the topic but I was not interested in sitting through some stupid video about it)
anyways, good luck with the review site guys, just like I'll wish luck on anyone else that is running a review site out there, there are lots of good ones to choose from (although this one might get more interest from webmasters because of it's angle at the moment)
