It's difficult to get yourself known

Advantages: Excellent site, good earning potential
Disadvantages: Difficult to get the reads

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’re already a member, and a 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. ... more

A Rival Opinion Site or not

Advantages: New, Well organised
Disadvantages: Specialised in Computer related products and services

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.

Ciao 2 - My bit on the side...

Advantages: Get paid more than ciao
Disadvantages: You will be lucky if anyone knows you are there!!!

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. ...

Earn Money For Writing Reviews

Advantages: see opinion
Disadvantages: see opinion

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 ...

RIP Consumer Reviews? - May 2004

Advantages: Easy enough to use. Pay for writes as well as all member/reads
Disadvantages: Harder to get read. No community feel at all. Home page slow to load.

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 ...
