Buliding A Review Site Empire - GoFuckYourself.com

Platinum Doug · 11-19-2004, 09:27 AM

He's got a Masters Degree In Business. He started his review site a year ago. He now employs two full-timers and could be hiring more people in the near future! ;)

I just did a piece with Mantas about how he's built his empire in little under a year. He chats about where he thinks anyone can make a good chunk of change doing reviews and the problems he's faced getting started. If you're at all interested in building a review-site, you might find this useful . . .

DO YA WANNA REVIEW

polish_aristocrat · 11-19-2004, 09:37 AM

Building review site = easy, getting SE traffic to it = hard

Platinum Doug · 11-19-2004, 09:55 AM

Mantas is a smart cat . . . you can tell it by speaking with him. He started just over a year ago - made mistakes. Eventually some time over the past year, he hired a SEO guy to kick him a report, and now Google has him giddy.

I hear what you're saying about linking being hard . . . but if he can do it and be making money within a year, it certainly says that there are possibilities for the driven!

FreeHugeMovies · 11-19-2004, 09:56 AM

Mantas is a sexy bitch! Nice one Doug!

nudecanada · 11-19-2004, 09:59 AM

There's a jewel in there. Good article, Thanks!

sweetcuties · 11-19-2004, 10:01 AM

Nice review, he reviewed one of my sites

Did you have to beg and plead?? When I first started managing accounts for Platinum Bucks, I begged and pleaded with him to review our sites. This was back shortly after he launched his site. He wouldn't hear it. Eventually he came around to understanding that I wasn't a complete bastard and I think he's reviewed a few by now. Hopefully he didn't put you through THAT! ;)

undermyspell · 11-19-2004, 10:09 AM

poor Doug.. LOL

I think he had a tough time at first getting to everyone. There are so many sites out there to cover. However, I've been freelancing with him for a while now and he's not only a great employer but he really knows what he's doing.. My hat's off to him

I emailed him and he got back to me. I got a good review... I need to get him to review all my sites

Trixxxia · 11-19-2004, 11:04 AM

I didn't read your report yet, Doug - but I'm more than sure that it only emphasizes the quality of Mantas' site as a whole & the great mind in Mantas - builder/creator of RabbitsReviews.com. I'm fortunate enough to have met Mantas when offering a ride to Quebec - not only is this guy easygoing and relaxed, you know for sure he's listening to every word you said and it's registering in his knowledgeable, computerized mind to spit out suggestions and help you build on your ideas. ;) Besides being helpful, he's a sweetheart and I'm lucky to call him a friend.

If you have any paysites & looking for honest reviews of the outmost quality - hit him up. His reviews are golden and help your bottom line - period.

Ok, sorry for letting go there - let me go read!

Trixxxia · 11-19-2004, 11:18 AM

As always, Mr. Eloquence (a.k.a. PlatinumDoug) it was a meaningful interview & 2

to a job well done!

Lace · 11-19-2004, 11:50 AM

Chichio · 11-19-2004, 03:29 PM

Carbon from RabbitsReviews if probably one of the smartest guys I've met in this industry. I have seen first hand how one of his reviews can help a site and it's conversion. The joins they send are like gravy on the whole deal. Pretty neat

Extreme Nate · 11-19-2004, 03:30 PM

Rabbit's Reviews what can I say Great guy great site, he's been one of our top affiliates for a long time now.

[illnet]-Tony · 11-19-2004, 03:38 PM

Great Interview !

Rabbit's rocks and run by very smart and professional
people as well.

Traffic is great !

Way to go Mantas

Platinum Doug · 11-19-2004, 03:39 PM

I had a whole list of review sites I'd send passes to every month . . . just to make sure we were constantly being added. If you're not doing that and you run a pay site program, you should!!

KCat · 11-19-2004, 03:59 PM

Great article! I've done some reviews for another site, so I can appreciate how much time & energy goes into creating a solid review site covering multiple niches. Good work!

What made you decide to go the adult entertainment route?

Mantas:
I was actually surfing a lot of the password trading boards -- to get into porn sites for free. At one point, I noticed the link saying ?Make money with adult,? and I?ve never looked back

V_RocKs · 11-19-2004, 04:33 PM

Got 404 traffic? Send it to a review site like the rabbit's or make your own. I've tried FPA's and all kinds of shit to convert 404 and nothing works like reviews does. I get conversions of 1:7 to 1:300 and the norm is about 1:70 to 1:140.

lagwagon · 11-19-2004, 04:34 PM

I have had the pleasure of hanging out with Mantas a few times. hes a cool cat. Nice read btw.

CS-Jay · 11-19-2004, 04:48 PM

Congrats! I'll be seeing you in Vegas!

He deserves a ton of respect as being a very smart business man, a very good friend, and guy that can drink a shit-ton of vodka!

See ya soon!

Jay

MichaelP · 11-19-2004, 05:30 PM

Nice Article Mantas and Doug.. See ya in Vegas both of you guys ..

Take care

side note : Mantas and Doug both did a terrific job at our seminars @ QWEBEC Expo

lol your approach wasn't entirely conventional doug

platinum sites have grown considerably since that time, they were ripe for a review

if anyone has a quality paysite, feel free to request a review (see sig); our turnaround can be as long as 2-3 weeks, but if you hit a time where there are only a few requests, your review can be up within 3 days.

I'd never thought about that! But i have though about making a review site. What I learned was - reviews are a LOT of work!!! My hat's off to those who decide on taking it on!

Didn't read it yet, just the start of this thread. Amazing that it's only been a year since RR. Feels much longer since I've seen and heard about RR. Has come a long way since then and I'm happy for his success.

Paul Markham · 11-19-2004, 11:28 PM

It's fair review site, I've seen better. It looks too much like a sales site than an honest review site.

But out of the top 5 teen sites 4 are our clients and that tells you something.
