I had a feeling the stats read something like that. I have a ton of reviews out there and the vast majority of them are making me money.

Ha ha. It kind of reminds me of those subliminal affirmation programs that flash messages really quick on your computer screen. Is that what he's trying to do?...

Hell, the popularity alone shows how effective its exposure is. (though will one actually convert?)

it doesnt surprise me. Everyone reads reviews before buying just to make sure they arent buying crap. I dont blame them.

xypichi · 01-27-2009, 12:33 AM

I prefer to use a “reporter” style of review. This way, even if I don’t love the product, I can be honest about it which lends credibility to my other reviews.

RDion12 · 02-15-2009, 03:55 AM

its true...

riezioVL · 02-23-2009, 04:25 PM

of course, consumers are spending money, reviews need to be read, even a couple of times to get money's worth

ecigarette · 03-07-2009, 04:19 PM

I might not buy if there are good reviews, but I definately won't buy if there are bad ones.
