    I used to do that, for a long time. Burned me out on porn.

          I disagree. Once you get a taste for networks (there's about 30~40 that come up regularly) you can pretty much nail a fresh review without even visiting the site. For instance - I can tell you the update schedule, the video lengths, resolutions and bitrates, image sizes, accessibility (ZIP/DRM) options, archive size, content type, bonus sites, navigation options and much, much more about a number of sites that are considered 'the best' (We Live Together, Bang Bus, In The Crack, etc.).

          The difference between a movie critic and porn site reviewer is simple - a porn site reviewer pretty much has to sell you the site. Sure, there are some cases where you just can't recommend a join, but more often than not, you're only going to mention the good elements of a site and avoid talking about anything negative. Some shit just doesn't get mentioned in the word count either, I mean seriously - what sort of a surfer wants to know what processors he can join through?

          Video resolutions, update schedules, content quality, bonus sites and archive sizes are pretty much the meat of any review. Some projects I've worked on require 10 reviews written per day - do you really think it's possible for me to sit down for 16+ hours and look at porn objectively?

          Adult reviews are there for a reader to skim over and assure himself that joining a porn site is okay. The actual meat and guts of the site don't matter to most porn surfers, as they'll take one look at the tour and decide there and then if they like the look of it. Sure, some want to know if ZIP files are inside or if the videos are 720p, but more often than not, you're going to find that a good porn review uses informal, first person language and assures the reader that the site he's reading a review for is worth the 30 bucks.
          And this is why review sites traffic and conversions have dropped over the last few years.

          The customer expects the review site to give him a much better review than Video resolutions, update schedules, content quality, bonus sites and archive sizes. He wants to know if the porn will get his dick hard and satisfy him.

          That's what he's spending $30 on. And he doesn't care if you don't have the time.

            Luckily, you have those magic join links, so you really have no need for a review site anyway.

            I think this tutorial is for those that have to do it the old fashioned way.

              It seems like reviewing a photo site based on video content is a lot like reviewing a BBW site based on how slender the talent is.

              Is there anything a frustrated webmaster can do to address this?

                    You're right Amelia. Myself I try to evaluate a site based on what I think a customer whose into that fetish would enjoy. I don't like 600lb women, but it doesn't mean I can't try to get into the head of someone who does.

                    As for text, if a website goes out of their way to provide long descriptions, I do try to mention that in my review. I know some customers enjoy that.

                    Adult Site Surfer is restrained by an antiquated system too, and any changes I make would only be future proof, and not affect the past, which sucks! It's just so big that it's hard to make a dent no matter what I do it seems.

                    So, I've made a new site that I've been working hard on to address some of those issues and start on a clean slate. Have a look, I'd love to get your stuff listed. http://www.pornreviewsplus.com

                    Here's an example of a fully filled out site review:

                    http://www.pornreviewsplus.com/private-school-jewel

                    Also as for scoring, I've done away with including anything in the score, and just go by feel now. Nearly 10 years doing this, I sort of just have a sense of where things belong. Rather than trying to get a perfect system that adds this and that by weights etc, I just have an estimated score (based on my past experiences with a site, and what other review sites I respect have had to say on the matter) and a full overall score. Adult Site Surfer is a lot about ranking, which turns into a bit of a mess over time, as reviews get outdated etc. This new site is less about your score, and more about the facts and my point form thoughts as I browse through the members area.

                      New programs should always chase the favor of review sites. It's a good learning experience

                        I can confirm RabbitsReviews is a great site with quality traffic and it's definitely worth to be reviewed by them.

                          Sorry my site only does one niche; webcam. If have any cams (even once a week shows for members) then I can give you a mention. Feeds don't count though. You can find me via the link in my sig if you dig around a bit.

                          Burn out on porn; you're not kidding. I've been doing some house renovation lately (totally killing me, already had to fire the first set of builders) and now if I have to look at a porn video I don't even notice if the girl is being DP'd upside down or whatever... all I'm thinking is things like "hey, that's an interesting staircase behind her, get your ass out of the way so I can see how the handrail connects to the treads."

                          I never liked scores - if you want to know what I think of a site you have to read the review; I cannot summarize it in two digits!

                              That's a cute idea. How about this -- I'll write you reviews for cam sites which you haven't covered and you can use *your* affil code but I put in some links into the reviews pointing to my corresponding reviews ("see this other review of xyz..."). Real links of course, not "out.php".

                                okay, can you make the review at least 500 words? email me at teenmodel AT teenslutsblog.com

                                hony, I also have a new webcam blog that would be even better for your reviews
