To the Doc and many others, The review site situation has become a mess both user based reviews or some private reviewers review. If you strictly rely on review sites before buying something to eat, one would starve to death. What I mean by this is, if you ever tried to look up reviews to restaurants, one guy says it’s great the other says it’s terrible and the end user cannot make a decision. The truth is both of the comments may be truth but so many things is a personal taste. The sites featuring stars (3 ½ stars out of 5) again just confusion.

It’s like mainstream movie reviews, pick a movie you like and look up reviews, you’ll see that tons of people will say it was boring and bad etc. Same goes if you look up hotels to stay in etc. User comments should be called “ConfUser comments”. In addition as the FTC recently revealed (no surprise there) that many of the user comments at least the positive ones they investigated where bullshit created by the company owners themselves. (And if you see some of the negative restaurant reviews, its obvious that the 5000 word detailed negative review was left by the competition).

So the only way to review an adult site and be as fair as possible, is to show the user exactly what’s up and let them make a decision. That’s why there is no star ratings or score ratings on the site or user comments, because if you show someone exactly what’s up, there is no need for anyone else’s input or personal score.

The goal of this site is not to BS the surfer and make a quick buck, the goal is simple “build trust”, and by telling them upfront what to expect they feel confident whipping out their card, you take away that fear they might have of joining because of a bad prior experience or because of something they heard or read somewhere.
Then you have to find reviewers who are into what they are reviewing and buying porn to consume. Otherwise you have a vegetarian reviewing a steak house. Yes tell the surfer if he's getting the quantity promised, downloads smoothly, in full length or 1 minute clips.

All this can be done very fast then give the surfer an opinion of the content and tell them it's your opinion. Is it believable or fake, produced in an inventive way or the same as 100 of other sites, are the girls pretty or not, teen or not (if teen or milf or etc) and avoid niches you know little about. Build trust in the surfer by reviewing what you understand and you will build buyers on your site a lot quicker.

Of course the saddest reply would be you can't find people who understand the porn they are reviewing. Sad reflection on the industry.

MORE POWER TO YOU ESPECIALLY IN LISTING SITES WITH LESS THAN HONEST PRACTICES. THIS WILL BENEFIT THE MAJORITY.
