I've been running a review site for about 4 months and I'd say the opposite is true: Building the site, maintaining, optimizing for SEs and promotion is the grunt work. Getting listed well on Google, etc. hasn't been too hard (so far) but it depends on the keywords.
Review sites like RR and my own rank well for site-specific keywords (i.e. if someone searches for a site by it's name or for info e.g. "[site name] review"), but generic terms ("live sex", e.g.) are yes, hard, as they are for anyone!!
Anyway, the article was good and helped give me a little motivation to keep at it. I have also been curious how some of my "competitors" were doing! Lastly, it's good to see someone offer insight and advice to his peers.
