Affiliate Bloggers Editing and Proofreading Services
Eleven products reviewed, eleven recommendations, eleven links. Every one is excellent, every one is a great choice for most people, and the reader has just worked out that this page cannot tell them anything — because a site that has never advised against a purchase is not reviewing, it is selling with extra steps.
We edit what affiliate publishers write — product reviews and comparison pages, buying guides and roundups, disclosure statements and their placement, testing methodology pages, category and best-of pages, email sequences promoting products, and the about pages that establish who is speaking. Our editors work on pages whose credibility is their only asset.
The recommendation that names who should not buy is what separates an affiliate site from an advertisement, and its failure is universal enthusiasm. A reader who cannot find a negative anywhere on the site stops believing the positives. We work through these so every recommendation states the buyer it is wrong for, in concrete terms — the room too small for it, the budget it does not suit, the use it fails at — since this single move does more for conversion than any amount of praise; so at least one product in a roundup is recommended against with a reason, because a list where everything wins is a list nobody trusts; so the basis for the judgement is stated, whether that is testing, ownership, research or a summary of other people's reviews, given that "we researched" and "I have used this for two years" are different claims and readers can tell when one is standing in for the other; so the disclosure appears before the first link rather than in the footer, as a reader who finds it afterwards feels handled; so the ranking is explained where a cheaper product wins, since an honest first place that pays less commission is the most persuasive thing on the page; so any product not personally tested is marked as such; so the comparison table's criteria are the reader's rather than the ones that happen to differentiate the products; and so the page says when it was last checked against current models. Reviews written this way get linked to and returned to.
Everything you send is treated in confidence, including traffic and revenue figures, unpublished reviews and commercial arrangements. We are editors rather than reviewers, marketers or advertising advisers, and we offer no view on products, disclosure obligations or any commercial arrangement. What we can do is make the recommendation worth trusting.
