    After reading quite a lot of reviews now, don't you find that people just turn the most simple review into an essay? if i'm reading about a yoghurt i don't want to read about her life at the same time. I just don't get why you need to write a story about a yoghurt? maybe if it was a holiday i'd understand, but a yoghurt, really is there any need? also found that with a TV i reviewed, 3 page essay about her tv and how her old one blew up in bed, then she went onto her financial history, like what?

    Is this just me? LOL

    yeah i think the same 150 words on a product is easily done a lot of people say aim for 500 which is fine if you can stay focused on the product but i just want to know about the product not people whole life story

    Hayley that's known as padding out the review! Some people do that to make it longer so people vote it VU.

    Saying that I just posted about wii sports and it was over 1,000 words. I got a bit carried away lol

    Yes any questions you have about matched betting just ask.

    Morning everyone, I'm sitting in front of a window, it's awful outside! I hope it picks up a bit for you Amy, there's nothing worse than being cold and wet.

    I had a good day yesterday as I paid another £100 off of my overdraft, I can do another £50 when a cheque clears which will make it £200 this week, yay! I've just finished a review on dooyoo...I think we're all getting a bit addicted to it now. I'm guilty of writing long ones, it's 1300 BUT I don't think any of it is padding. I've decided to do a kind of series reviewing survey sites because I figure people who use dooyoo might be more inclined to be interested in survey sites. I may be wrong though...
    Finally bought a home

    You are probably right Nichelette. Have you just posted it?

    I don't mind people padding out a review when its about the product, but when they are waffling about stuff i don't care about (i.e life history, what they had for dinner) i really don't want to know and i tend to vote the review useful for them reasons.

    Have a good day Amy - i really hope the weather gets a little bit nicer this afternoon. You are going to watch a big match? or is it a small local team? I'm off to see Charlton in a few weeks, my OH and I are BIG fans.

    Well done on the payments Nichelette, thats brilliant.

    xx
