There are no honest review sites that rank high on Google. They are all scams. Sorry.
I completely disagree. I run a review website (not for gurus, but for a group of consumer products). I help people figure out what product is right for their needs. I get paid if people buy a product that meets their needs and keep it.
I started the site when I had a problem that I couldn’t find a solution for. I figured it out and posted the results. Turns out, I’m not the only person with the problem and the product (that I review) solves the problem. I also review competitor products and say why that may be better or worse. The goal is to educate people so they can make an informed selection.
I don’t rank high in google for every search term, but I do for a few. I’m not scamming anyone. I’m giving good advice. If a better product comes along, you better believe I will change the recommendation.
There are some review sites that recommend products with the best affiliate offers, but there are also sites that offer serious recommendations. The latter will rise to the top...not always, but most of the time.
