consumer-reviews.co.uk

I had always avoided Consumer Reviews as I thought it was a site purely for the real computer experts of which I am definitely not one! With the reduction in earnings at both Ciao and Dooyoo I was on the lookout for any other opportunities and, after reading an excellent opinion by Brianlfc, I decided to take a look at this site. The first thing that I noticed was how clearly the site was laid out. The home page gives you the link to either join ...
...list of the categories in which you can write. There’s no ‘clutter’ on the page as there is with Ciao and Dooyoo, offering ‘ringtones for your mobile’ or ‘free text messages’, and I like the simplicity and clarity of the whole thing. Come on, Susan, get on with telling us what the site is all about! OK I will! Joining the site is easy enough. The mandatory fields on the application form are user name, password ...

Review of consumer-reviews.co.uk

I had the pleasure of joining Consumer Reviews just last night after reading an opinion on this site. I must say I was really quite impressed. Many of the features are very similar to both Ciao and Dooyoo. I will try and provide as much information, as possible, to benefit any of you who do not already know of this site, or those of you that may wish to join. Products/Services covered ------------------------------------ The emphasis is solely ...

Review of consumer-reviews.co.uk

o0o INTRODUCTION o0o Well, the bit on the side I am talking about is called www.consumer-reviews.co.uk. o0o THE SITE o0o Consumer reviews is yet another consumer opinion site paying you for your opinions and reviews. The major difference with this one though is you are paid nearly twice as much as ciao for reads and money for actually writing the opinion. It is a rather plain, white looking site and frequently surpasses to the odd shut-down. ...
...on your modem speed and basically it is like a grave yard - no community, no Circle of Trust, nothing! It is easy to navigate though. Another major difference to ciao, is the fact that they are a computer based site - I mean they only review computers and computer/Internet related services. The site has also just become affiliated with www.dabs.com - so members of Dabs can use this site to find information on the product they want to buy from dabs. ...

Review of consumer-reviews.co.uk

Well yesterday saw my discovery of this new opinions site and as always the buzz of excitement which comes with a new money making opportunity! I hot tailed it straight over there and signed up and I already feel knowledgeable enough to write an opinion on them. ~~~ What Is It? ~~~~ Well in an extremely similar vein to Ciao and DooYoo, Consumer reviews is another site where we can get paid for our opinions. Over there they are actually called reviews, ...
...product it is more of a review. Consumer reviews is different thought because it’s a specialized site about computers. It’s a pretty new site which was launched on 3rd March and they have already signed up with Dabs.com as their "independent consumer reviews site". ~~~ Categories ~~~ As I mentioned this site is entirely about computer reviews so the categories are a lot narrower than you will find here. However when you look closely you ...

Review of consumer-reviews.co.uk

May 2004 Update - for some months, this site has been displaying a 'changing servers - sorry for the inconvenience' notice. Now it seems that even the link to www.consumer-reviews.co.uk is hi-jacked by a link to a shopping robot. Draw your own conclusions. 'WHAT IS IT? Consumer Reviews is another E-opinions site run along similar lines as CIAO and DOOYOO, but with one major difference. The opinions have to be connected with computing in some way, ...
...For example, their range of Internet retail sites stretches way beyond those that sell computer kit. (Whether this is what CR intended is another matter, but that’s their own fault for introducing an “Others” category). I have just placed a scaled-down version of my Maplin Electronics review there so I know this is OK (AND it got a “Star” – more of that later). Interestingly, you can place more than one opinion in the 'Others' category, which is ...

For those of you looking for more of a specialist reviews and opinion site to the current favorites like Ciao, you should jog on over to www.consumer-reviews.co.uk. The site is dedicated to computing and electronic entertainment and works in a same way to both Dooyoo and Ciao, in that you will get paid to write opinions and also when someone reads them. The site started off by just concentrating on the technical side of things, chips, hardware and ...
...extent it has continued along these lines, but the inevitable addition of gaming and electrical entertainment has crept in and joined the list of review topics. Despite this diversion from the more ‘techie’ aspects, it’s still pretty easy to get good opinions on the latest PC and Mac platforms and the companies that specialise in selling them. Reviews are written in the same way as they are on the other two sites, a box is provided ...

Review of consumer-reviews.co.uk

Consumer-reviews.co.uk is another ‘paid for writing’ web site. This one however is a bit different to the ones we are familiar to. For a start, your going to be writing reviews and not opinions and secondly, they only want computer based reviews. So, if your thinking about going along and pasting all your opinions onto their site, you better think again!! - THE AIM The aim of the site is to give consumers advice on what they call 1000’s ...
...of products listed, I wouldn’t say there were more than 500, but anyway, I’m rambling. Basically, you can get reviews in magazines on hardware and software, but what about getting reviews from the actual consumers (yes, that’s you and me). Well, this is what this site is all about, getting reviews from the people who actually use the products. - REGISTERING You don’t have to register yourself to use the site. You only have ...

Review of consumer-reviews.co.uk

Consumer-reviews.co.uk is another ciao/dooyoo imitation, although it is not really a direct competitor across the board, as it is in fact limited to covering computing products. Rather than the umpteen categories on Ciao, Dooyoo, Mouthsh*t, or other similar consumer portals, consumer-reviews.co.uk focuses completely on computing related products. Granted it has four computing cats, namely: hardware, software, computer books and computer vendors, ...
...for a number of months, consumer-reviews.co.uk has finally passed away and joined the ranks of sibling u-rate-it.com which died in infancy last year. C-R was always seen as a bit of a loner - no sense of community prevailing - and had struggled to be taken seriously. Flaws in its programming had led people to exploit its generosity - 5p for reading your own reviews, and in its final months it was almost exclusively the domain of clicking cartels. ...

The power of Ciao is such that we mere mortals can find out about other sites that do the same as Ciao only differently. It is thanks to the opinions posted on Ciao about Consumer Reviews that I decided to take a look and join in the fun.

Review of consumer-reviews.co.uk

Consumer-Reviews is a new site very similar in concept to this one which opened around early March time. While I say the concept is the same, in practice, consumer-reviews only wants your reviews on computer related products rather than a whole range of goods and services. However, its well worth a look because at the moment at least they are offering 30p per review written as well as 5p per read. So whats it like? Well, obviously as a new site it ...
...There are presently 4 main categories under which to submit you reviews, those of: 1)Computer Hardware 2)Computer Software 3)Computer Books 4)Computer Vendors All these sections have an array of different products and services to write about although its hardly a comprehensive list to say the least. At present, the Computer Books section is incomplete, and whilst there are lots of different categories, you can not submit a review(except to the magazine ...

Review of consumer-reviews.co.uk

Consumer-reviews.co.uk is another website trying to create the kind of community that Dooyoo and Ciao have done quite well (only it hasn’t done quite as well). The only thing is that from your first look this website is lacking in one very important area. There is not much content, you can only write your opinions on things to do with computers such as Hardware, Software, Books and Vendors. This I think would put a lot of people off, as not everyone ...
...general this is not a bad website the homepage looks quite good, they have all their advertising and their promise of a £1 gift when anyone joins. You can see the latest review that has been posted and you can also click to view the latest 10 reviews posted. There is also a highly recommended part, which is a link to review, which obviously recommends something as being very good! The user area is what you would expect you can look at the review ...
