Well my webpage and this blog have existed for roughly half a month and received little attention from the major search engines and even less from people in general, which I must admit is beginning to wear on me a little given the competition. Hence, herein I will discuss the flaws with other sites as they related to my frustration. However, before doing that I will discuss a certain definition which is key to the whole issue, the definition of the word "review".
To review means to appraise critically, to inspect, to analyze, to judge, to detail something with its positives and its negatives. Every last website I have read claiming to review ways of making money online is nothing more than a way of advertising them. Now not only do websites go this far and do this, they go further and actually include the profits they made by advertising for the company itself in the review. This includes making ridiculous claims such as "I make $500 a month doing paid surveys". NO YOU DO NOT, you make at most $50 a month from the surveys and the other $450 from directing traffic to their website via an affiliate link in which you get money for more people joining. It is a cruel, unfair lie that websites like this are running. Three times as cruel in this economic climate.
The first site that comes up in google when I enter the phrase "make money online review" is a site titled the web reviewer which is nothing more than a blatent attempt at selling products. I cannot see a single element of actual 'reviewing' going on here. I was going to go on and list the sites like this one, until I looked through the search engine results and remembered what had gotten me so annoyed in the first place: THEY ARE ALL LIKE THIS. All the same site claiming to review things, whilst actually advertising them shamelessly whilst my site remains struggling to be indexed.
