I've had more than enough of fucked up review sites and their bullshit games!

after re-reading this, and looking at the page in question:
http://www.thebestporn.com/review/tawneestone/

how are they abusing your content? perhaps I missed something, otherwise, I'm lost. perhaps the big problem is there's no transparency due to the fact that some customers have no idea that some review sites are supported by commissions, payola, etc. and sponsors have no idea whether or not their competitors are paying under the table for a better review. it all breaks down to the overall integrity & trustworthiness of the review site. if review sites opened their doors to customer reviews & rankings, it would be far worse and render most sites unusable.

do review sites like this bother to analyze sites that DON'T have affiliate programs?
