TGP's trade with other TGP's for obvious reasons but the TGP surfers are aware of the existence of other TGP's. But I always thought that a review site is considered something special and unique by the surfer. So the main goal for a review site, assuming it is a separate site and not an addition for a TGP, should be to get the traffic via SE's or PPC SE's, make the surfer interested in their site, convince him that this is a special site, and to buy a membership or bookmark it, so that when he decided to buy a membership to a paysite in future, he may visit that site again and make them a sale.
Better page rank? Some other review sites might feel they offer a better quality product, thus stealing that bookmark from one review site to another?
