Reading your article reminds me of looking under the hood of a car to see what your getting.

I’ve answered the first question with the post above.

As for the writers, it depends. I am trying to be as specific as possible (lately) and tell them for example that I want an intro, a few words on features and benefits and then have them list the pros and cons.

They can even use the same subheadlines in each article so that all reviews are consistent and the visitor will know what to expect after reading a few reviews.

Again, you can copy that and I cannot legally touch you. I don’t own the review structure patent.

But if you’d like to build some self-esteem and self-confidence, then do something original. Take my idea (that’s why I am writing this blog), do some brainstorming and come up with something original.

You’ll feel very good, trust me.

I have three questions here. I’m an SBI owner and have a travel/destination site and now want to built a product review site. Reverse engineering makes perect sense to me and my only problem is how to avoid “copying” the site.

I’m not talking blantant cut and paste but the more subtle grey areas. Suppose I wanted to do a vacumn review site (I don’t, just an example) then a review of SuperDuper123 will be very similar as its major plusses and minuses are the same, the keywords will be the same etc.

Is it all down to voice etc or have I missed something? I would hate to reverse a site then be accussed of cheating or am I’m being over cautious?

Second question. I see a couple of mentions of outsourcing work which also makes perfect sense to me. What information do you need to provide a writer with? Is it simply a case of asking for them to write a review of product xyz or do I need to research, gather info and send it to them?
I assume that they are experienced at writing web pages and will optimise keywords etc?

Thanks

If you follow the SBI AG and have a pretty good idea what you want to build your site around, then you have more than enough credits.

Yes, the competition of 99 people always comes into a discussion. In my opinion, 99% of people do not look to build a really authoritative site with tons of content. They also don’t build links consistently for 1 year or more.

So there is no competition if you go this way. If you build a site, and then next month buy another blueprint and start another site and build sites like this with 20 pages or so, then you’ll actually have some competition.

Curious… I have been thinking of using a niche blueprint and/or buying the KRA from Andy. Right now I use my SBI account and just pay for more credits as needed. Do you have any thoughts about which has better ROI?

I am inclined to use a niche blueprint, but I want to be sure the research is as accurate or better than I can do myself through SBI. For $50 I think it is probably a steal, bu then I also have to question how much competition I will have if 99 other people buy and implement the blueprint. What do you think?

I found a couple of writers at getafreelancer.com after I tested a few. They typically offer to write 500 word articles for about $6, but I offer them $8 per 600 word if they really do a good job. It seems to work most of the times…

Great post! Can I ask about where you get content from for your websites and how much you pay per article? I’ve tried a few content writers in the past but I’ve always ended up rewording or not even using the article because it’s been poor and not very informative.

I end up writing a lot of content myself which takes up a lot of my time and doesn’t progress my sites and fast as I want.

There are exact instructions on how to link back from your T2 and T3 pages (the links you add at the bottom of the page). That’s what I meant by internal linking and many people miss the significance of this type of linking but it’s very powerful…
