Hey mates, I have a question and I hope you can help me with this. When a product is on the top of Clickbank, you'll see a lot of review sites out there...but did you noticed reviewbonus4u? It's for EVERY product on the top... My question is: Do you think the guy behind this site makes actually any money with it? Is it worth to start such a similar thing? Cheers, Mario
Yes, that person is doing very well. But, the site is well established, has backlinks, and probably generates a few sales a day.
The review model can be quite profitable and exciting when done correctly. The website you mention has done this properly and has good SEO and product targeting. Review sites work, but there is a skill to making profit-pulling websites.
Reviews just need some research so you have a clue what you are reviewing. With the proper research, keywords, and SEO review sites can sit on top of the search engines fairly easily and make some money.
To answer your question, yes that site owner makes money. I have created ClickBank review sites with great success. Just remember, that you typically have to do a little more "persuading" or pre-selling with informational products because they aren't tangible.
Screw Clickbank, make your own product and sell somewhere else. Clickbank steals commissions all the time.
