Post Free Website Advertising/Reviews!!!

Hello all WHT-AU members.

I am currently creating a website in which I will be reviewing Australia's webhosting and game hosting companies and businesses. If you think you would like to be reviewed/promoted via my website please post here and show your expression of interest. The website is www.comparinghost.com and has already had a few businesses approaching us with interest.

Thanks for your time.

Ash Platz.

As I said, it's just gathering interest at the moment. I have hosting and a site design in place. Show interest?

Given that you are associated with in some way and have xqdm in your sig would lead me to believe it would not be an objective site

Re: Free Website Advertising/Reviews!!!

What's that supposed to mean? I am rating XQDM along with other hosts too. XQDM will be judged by other people, just not myself. If you wish to believe that XQDM will be judged unfairly, that is fine, but we aren't going to give XQDM unfair judging. I have XQDM in my signature because Adam is a friend of mine who did some favours for. I offered to put it in my signature for free.

Please don't assume.

Re: Free Website Advertising/Reviews!!!

Then thanks for clarifying that as I said "the sig would lead one to believe"

On the real topic though the average hosting consumer really can't be bothered going to a site and rating their host - if they are with them then the chances are the are very happy - If they leave them they are unhappy

Individual reviews provide no measure of assessment as that can only be done objectively over a long period of time and would require identical hosting accounts with all providers in order to provide a rating

Your average hosting consumer spends enough time finding and settling with a host without going looking for places to rate them even if they knew such a site existed which they generally don't

While it sounds like a good idea in theory it is not in practice and would end up just as a revenue generating advertising site

As I mentioned before you yourself are in no position to

Re: Free Website Advertising/Reviews!!!

Which is what I was planning to do. Even if it's a small amount of space. XQDM have already provided me with this which is why I am reviewing them first. And it's not because I want to make revenue as such, It's there to let the Australian and world wide consumers know about the hosts in Australia.

As you may think I want to do this for extra cash or something along those lines, you are wrong. I do this because I thought it would be something interesting and fun to do. I enjoy writing and writing about a topic I know something about only enhances the fun.

I could not agree more.

I believe no more needs to be said either.
