i think people are generally surprised at how much people are genuinely interested in other people’s opinions (reviews in other words)

I often write reviews on my blogs about products but I find that unless I”m doing a giveaway that is associated with the review, I don’t very many comments on my review posts even though my stats show that those posts generate traffic.

I recently started doing a regular blog feature “Things I’m Lovin’” It features items that I really want or things that I already have and am in love with. One of the first ones that I did was a parental edition, showcasing things for parents that I own and absolutely love.

My blog usually has a simple living/coastal vibe to it, so this week I’ll be doing a post featuring items for the beach that I own and love.

I’ve found that review posts are fantastic for SEO – even though I don’t sell fly fishing gear (I sell fly fishing trips), I get a lot of good traffic from people searching for specific gear.

I’ve been combining several tips from 31DBBB lately – here’s an example of a review post that’s also a list post and also has a ‘related links’ section.

Thanks Darren, as always.

I’ve written some review posts already (early in my blogs life) – which was a book review. http://operamouth.wordpress.com/2008/12/02/book-recommend…it-on-broadway/. I plan to try and work my book review into a series of some sort and will probably also do a sneeze page on this when I have more entries.

I wrote a review today of a great book entitled, “What Was I Thinking? 58 Bad Boyfriend Stories.” Lots of fun!

I have written a number of reviews on my blog … The Ashton Kutcher/CNN Challenge was one.
I have just finished work on a review of an event I attended over the weekend and will post it to my blog later and add it here… or stop by my blog later this afternoon to read it. I did not rate it because it is not that type of topic…
Anyway, I like this exercise very much. Thanks for all you’ve done for us Darren!

I’ve written several review posts before but one of my most popular review posts featured a review that wasn’t written by me! Air Asia, Asia’s largest low cost airline, had just launched a direct service from Kuala Lumpur to London and I’d been following that development closely. When the first flight was launched, several reviews of that flight surfaced on internet. I looked through all of them and chose one written by Jaunted.com and provided a link to that article from my post. It was one of my shortest posts ever but still gets lots of hits today, almost 2 months later.

I think the reviews are good but we need to do it differently. It needs to be like a post more than a review. Secondly, I don’t find people being creative about their reviews. I think it is very important. The review could also be funny – I don’t know why people are not engaging their readers with humour.

Well I do lots of tech reviews on my blog so I guess this step is probably the easiest one for me yet :)

I do all suggestions that Darren proposed, except I guess for the SEO part. Most of the time I write posts without thinking of proper keywords to be repeated, etc.

Just had to come back and see all the comments, as email said 23 new mails from problogger:) I think I’ll read some of all the reviews all you commentars are posting on your websites. Might spot some more good pointers in review-writing.

Thanks for those pointers. Will keep your guideline and follow them to create my own reviews after this.

Writing reviews on diet/exercise products is one of the main objectives of my site.

I’m thinking of re-doing them with more videos and pics (thanks Darren for the suggestion). What do you guys/gals think? I need to work on #2 and #4 as well.

P.S. Sarah, I’m going to check your link out. Thanks!

Really enjoyed doing the products review. I did one on a crock-pot as a time and money saver here:

I had on my editorial calendar for this week to write a book review on Your Money or Your Life. Am planning on posting it tomorrow. It’s a self-help money book one of my interviewees credited with guiding her out of bankruptcy. BTW, I got a review copy from the publisher – I contacted them, told them about my interviewee, told then about my blog and target audience.
