Reviews pages....
Submitted by profwebs on Tue, 05/20/2008 - 21:02.
After having to switch gears for now on my niche.. I'm doing my sitemap on paper right now. One of my merchants may be The Tire Rack. My niche is not tires, but tires are 1 of the products in my selected niche. I plan on doing a rather thick content site in this niche. In doing reviews pages for tires, how would I want to go about it. Would I really want to have a reviews page for each brand and model of tire? I assume I would for contents sake, butthats alot of reviews.
So I guess this is possibly where I will want to look at some sort of advanced coding, possibly a datafeed of some sort?
I think Tirerack.com has a huge datafeed. I don't think it would be realistic to hand-write reviews for all the tires... I think you need to develop a strategy for user-submitted reviews.
TireRack looks like a good opportunity. I had toyed with the idea of promoting them, but alas I had too many things going on.
Keep us posted on your progress.
Who would I know if they have a datafeed? I looked on CJ and so far don't see anything.. Also, do I need to use a "service" like datafeedfile.com? Or, is this something I can have coded for my site at elance?
Also, I think this was covered in one of the seesions but can't find it in my notes.. I'll be more than happy to watch that session again...

if you are looking into setting up pages to collect user reviews on a large number of items (plus add your own editorial reviews) you might want to check out my site, since i offer one of the leading applications for doing that. it's a little expensive for beginning affiliates, so i'm not going to be recommending it in general. but if you are going down that road...
incidentally i'm hoping to get Jeremy to critique the application some time after BIP has concluded, as i'm interested in finding out how it can be better applied to affiliate marketing. Jeremy expressed an interest in this some months ago, but i don't intend to follow up on this until he has a lot less on his plate.

I'd actually look at buying that script now... IF it was on 1 of those long winded sales pages where I can't see the price. I can find (and already did the other evening) many other alternatives from free to less than $100.
I have not compared your product to any others, but when I'm looking for a tool like this I don't want to waste my time... I just want the jist of it, and if I like it, I'm sold..
Just my opinion tho, and this is meant as constructive criticism, not bashing you or the product :)

Hi Stephen
If you want to get critics ... why do you make an offer that we can not refuse! Under the condition that the people that buy it give you a full report on their findings.
It is a win-win or not?
