By your logic, we should all applaud such practices - since Sherm is just trying to make money, and that's the main idea (not honest reviews), so what if he is misleading readers, others do, so that makes it acceptable (even if the person doesn't inform the readers that he is being deceptive/misleading).

Just trying to offer an alternative viewpoint - I'm not earning money for my posts, just merely stating my opinion (honestly, Sherm is not paying me to keep his post near the top of the heap).

Read the review of my own sites. You can't get more honest than pointing out your own downfalls. If I were being deceptive, I'd have given Facial Abuse and Ghetto Gaggers 100's. What are you taking out on me? Did a reviewer piss you off before? Would it make you feel better if I reviewed your site 100% referral link free? I'll do that for you, just to prove a point since you have an obvious hangup, and you are calling my business ethics out. I wouldn't be in this business as long as I have if I were unethical...Especially since I show my face to the world at 80% of webmaster shows. The offer is there to review your site 100% referral ID free... Can you question me anymore? Send me the username/pass and I'll get to it tomorrow.

How dare I want to put in a referral link in for a couple hours of my time that could have been spent doing something guranteed to make me money such as submitting.

Aren't review sites meant to offer paysite owners tips as to how to improve their products, while giving surfers an idea of what they will get inside? Well that's what my review site is here to do anyways.
