One other good benefit of this is that you will probably be using the product name in the title of your blog post, which is an excellent way to rank higher in the search engines for that product name. A lot of people forget out product name keywords, but doing this will help you get more traffic too.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('996','Joel Osborne'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('996','Joel Osborne','This is a great idea.

One caveat though - recently in the US the FTC has been cracking down on reviews written just for affiliate sales, because they are misleading when a consumer reads one and assumes it's a unbiased, unsolicited opinion. An easy fix is to include a line like: "Here's a product I recently found and liked so much I'm now promoting it as an affiliate! When I first downloaded the product I expected..." and on into your review. Or simply add a disclaimer at the bottom of all your posts reading "Links found in posts on this blog include affiliate links designed to help me earn money to cover my time here - Please click the links that interest you and help support this helpful resource!" There - does that follow your review formula closely enough? ;-)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('994','Doug Champigny'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('994','Doug Champigny','This is a great review, Andre, easy for newbies to understand and implement yet still a great refresher for experienced marketers...\r\n\r\nOne caveat though - recently in the US the FTC has been cracking down on reviews written just for affiliate sales, because they are misleading when a consumer reads one and assumes it\'s a unbiased, unsolicited opinion.

And I like how you have laid out the process of doing one and what people are interested to know about the product. I also agree that you need to buy the product yourself first and use it and give a true review of the product. You will have a much better understanding and be able to do a much more accurate review. BTW: Don't be afraid to be honest if you don't like a product as you can still make sales even for a review of a product you didn't like.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('991','Brett McEllhiney'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('991','Brett McEllhiney','Product reviews are definitely a great idea.\r\n\r\nAnd I like how you have laid out the process of doing one and what people are interested to know about the product.\r\n\r\nI also agree that you need to buy the product yourself first and use it and give a true review of the product.
