It wound up being a buddy of mine from grade school that did it. Beers are on me next time I see him ;)

Thanks bud! We are sitting and waiting... and maybe a little praying...

The question would be how we'd review that. Right now we really review (read score) sites primarily--not content. Maybe we can put our heads together and figure it out

Congrats.

Thanks buddy. That means a lot coming from you ;)

Fair play to you guys.

And we couldn't be happier to be chasing!

Thanks so much for the business and I hope we can do more come 2015!

I've always liked dealing with Rabbits, so I may be a little biased. Great company to work with.

Shame you can't be honest and say you are not a review site but an affiliate to a lot of sites.

Like a book reviewer who gets a percentage from the books they review is not a true critic, just a salesmen in disguise.

What difference does it make if they get paid or not, so long as the ratings of the site are not based on how many sales a specific site generates? The entire idea of a review site is to give people an overview of what to expect when they join a site. Because of this, review sites pre-qualify surfers very well by telling their surfers exactly what to expect when they join a site, both the positive and negative.

I don't see the issue myself, unless they are ranking sites in accordance with who pays them most. Then yes, in that case I would say you have a valid argument. But Rabbits has been run with integrity since I have dealt with them so I am pretty certain that's not the case.

ravenazrael · 11-22-2014, 05:13 PM

You have always been a great reference as a review site and as a business model. I had the pleasure of metting Steve and Mike dring Qwebec. Amazing guys!

Used to check with rabbits reviews, back in the day, before I signed up for any site and of course click through the links. Nice getting a (somewhat) insider story of this.

Admittedly, this is a sticking point. You'd need to look and compare one review to the next... to see if there's some sort of logic being presented. 90 points are set in stone. You either have it or you don't. The rest comes down to placement in the category... usually focusing on content amounts as a base, then up a point or down based on whatever could make a site special.

We list sites that don't pay, as well, but they tend to be smaller sites so you would rarely see them as being able to compete with the production power of a bigger company. It just happens that this usually works in our favor. There's no hiding from that.

I think it's obvious to anyone in this business that the review site model is just a filtering landing page. I wouldn't expect anyone to send free traffic to anyone else.

The highest paying and converting paysite with a crappy members area still doesn't stand a chance of getting anything from Rabbits. Their ranking system has integrity

Yes, but I am saying to the naysayer(s), "So what if you get paid for the reviews". The reviews still tell people what to expect and that's the entire point. I've dealt with you folks for a long time, and I firmly believe the integrity of the reviews is very accurate. As an affiliate, I've used your site to determine starting points on whether a new site is worth promoting. And then when I gain access to the site for promo material, I quickly find that what you reported is accurate. I say job well done.

Absolutely agreed.

If I look back there are very few affiliates that have gotten a check every single pay period from every single program we manage since becoming an affiliate of that program. We've had many come close especially using revshare, but rabbits has done it on pps and revshare without fail for over 10 years.

Mantas and Doug are amazing people, for 2 gay guys to dominate the straight paysite review market is something to be extremely proud of.

Payola, in the music industry, is the illegal practice of payment or other inducement by record companies for the broadcast of recordings on music radio in which the song is presented as being part of the normal day's broadcast.

Separation of payment from the reviewer is central to any honest busines

I'd agree. Still... if you go and compare our reviews with the actual sites... what we say is in there to what's actually in there... i think even you will find complete honesty.

We figured it was our model index, which we had launched the previous year... so we hacked it off, loosing many months of work. It was the right choice.

crazy you remember that!! I think it was at the Florida Miami Internext show.

digitalfantasies · 11-26-2014, 12:06 PM

wow.. thx for sharing man....

we also have review sites.. obviously super small compared to rabbits, and we are only a staff of 2, and we focus on cams only.. but review sites are great if you find a way that works for you..

It is certainly not easy to build a successful new review site anno 2014, personally I would have to think 150 times before I would start a new one considering the changes we have had in SEO and thin content and of course the way google loves to slap us adult webmasters even if we write unique content.. . but the ones we have since 2007 have been paying my bills since 2009.. and after a huge google slap, last couple of weeks we are on the right path again, even seeing results from before google slapped us hard approx 2 years ago..

This was a nice read! Wish you all the best!

It's a totally different landscape for sure.
