Hosting Review Sites

[Shawn Gossman]

Are there any good hosting service review sites, anymore?

I see many but they seem to be more about showing ads than showing decent review information.

Most of them are mainly affiliate review sites. If you're looking for decent reviews, you'll have to search Reddit or another forums to actually find in depth and quality reviews.

It's not hard to tell when they're all affiliate sites based upon the links that they have on their site, which I don't consider so much of a bad thing, but it leads to users going to bad hosting companies and ones that have bad services.

There's just so many sites that use this concept. It's one of the main things that Google cracked down on with their major HCU update, which also caused bloggers to drop in rankings as well.

It always sucks when bloggers get the crap end of the stick with these updates.

It does, but a lot of bloggers were responsible for this, which is why google laid the smack down on them. Most of them were chunning out affiliate only blogs, heavy ad infested blogs and blowing up the search engines with this type of content. Which lead to the HCU content. It shouldn't have happened, but it pushed a lot of good bloggers out of search engines with this one too. Especially regular travel bloggers, food bloggers and more, who had nothin to do with this.

A lot of those bloggers were creating affiliate content around Amazon, Click bank and more instead of focusing on actual content, which Google didn't want to provide in search.

What's crazy is that Google AdSense prefers you to litter your blog with ads, too. Then Google will turn around and penalize you for it.

Them doing anything to you over amazon affiliate links is pure anti-competition and IMO, not very ethical.

They're making money. Why can't the website they need to add to their search engine?

I mean if it's good quality content, let the damn site make some money.
