Who are the best reviewer? JohnCow, CashQuest or Charles Lau?
As some of you may have know that I had ordered a few reviews from some of the popular bloggers around 2 weeks ago for my eBook, The Essential Guide For Forum Entrepreneurs.
I think that this is a good time to provide some comments on the results and the quality of the review done for your future reference.
JohnCow is the first blog that I approached for reviewing my book. Although it costs $200 for a review, I felt that it is worth the investment especially since I have received a lot of positive comments on my book in DigitalPoint. I sent an email to Kumiko at Cashquests soon after for another $80 review order for my book. Finally, there is a BUZZ recently on this guy, Charles Lau, for his video review and I dropped him an email to do a review for my book. I am very glad that Charles accept my review request for only $10 
Quality of the review
I appreciate the effort by JohnCow but too bad I find that his review is average.. considering a review fee of $200. CashQuests, however, has done a good job in reviewing my book by providing relevant screenshots and powerful pitch to capture the attention of the readers. It is obvious that CashQuests has put in a lot more effort in writing the review 
I am also amazed by Charles when he wanted to include an interview with me together in his review. Charles really understands what his customer wants For a $10 review, I find that Charles has go too far and has added value that clearly exceeds everyone’s expectation. I am totally satisfied by Charles Lau’s $10 review
Who send me the most traffic?
For the last few weeks, CashQuests send me 39 visitors, JohnCow sends me 37 and followed by 7 from Charles Lau. I have to be fair here to say that Charles put up my review at a later date (1 week later) so you could consider doubling the effectiveness of his review.
To sum up, CashQuests top the list in traffic and quality of review at a steal of $80. Charles is an incredible blogger that provides value based on your product, not the fee you paid him.
What do I do if I have only $10?
If you have only $10 and needed badly for someone to review your blog, you have only two choices:
- Borrow $70 from your friends and order a review from CashQuests.
- Just order a review from Charles Lau.

Kc, i thought i saw your unimpressive $200 spent on johncow reviewing your product..there was not much review done, it seems hastily done. without much actually reading on your ebook, Charles and Cashquest on the other hand is worth every single cent you spent.
If you $200 is splitted up, you can get a good review from btr.michael kwan and me for $40 each. That is still $80 only.Carlocab does some reviews and he have a pretty cool traffic to get your book on too. I guess after all spent, you could still use another $10 to get another review with charles for another review on your blog!
Cheers!
