Feedback is a very important component in the development and evolution of every web site. One way to gain valuable feedback is by having your web site reviewed. With regards to that, as a web publisher you have a few choices. The most obvious and immediate one is to request a review in the review sections of web publisher forums at sites like DigitalPoint and SitePoint where you may receive a number of short opinion posts with an occasional suggestion. This best serves as a way of getting some quick initial feedback for your new web site.

For something a little more serious you can sign up with such services as ReviewMe or PayPerPost and buy blogger's reviews of your site which can be a little more in depth and contain an additional value of having a back link and some additional traffic, as well as potentially a way to inject the word of your web site on the blogosphere. These reviews vary in price depending on the traffic and ranks of the blog on which the review is to be published. However the quality and form of the review can be diverse so it is not always clear what to expect.

Then there are various specialized, but usually costly, review services which provide such things as for example a detailed analysis of your web site's search engine optimization.

Or you could get a review here at Site2Review.com. What sets Site2Review apart is the focus on providing honest and constructive reviews that follow a consistent standard, so you know exactly what to expect, unlike both free forum reviews and paid blogger's reviews. Every review follows a predefined outline, the example of which can be seen here.

Another unique thing about Site2Review is the ability to make improvement updates to your review after it is published. When you read your site's review and all the suggestions given in it you may make certain improvements to your web site and wish to let others who may be reading it know that you've made these improvements. On Site2Review you can do this easily. Just edit your site's review and you'll be able to enter in a brief description of your improvements which will then prominently be displayed just beneath your review in a green box. You can add as many of these as you wish, so long as you don't overdo it. I know of no other review service that offers this capability.

Also, you choose both the anchor text of the link to your site, embedded at the beginning of the review and the tags under which the review will be published. The tag cloud is displayed on the right, sitewide. This gives your site's review direct access via the chosen keywords and increases its chances to be found by search engines under these relevant keywords.

In addition to being a review service, Site2Review also has the potential to double as a library of web sites that other web publishers and ordinary visitors alike can scour to find interesting new web sites, see how they've initially been reviewed and subsequently improved, vote for those they like and thus influence the top sites chart, providing you with exposure. You can even embed a nice badge showing your site's rating and linking your visitors to your site's review where they can vote for it too and influence your sites position on the chart. For a short overview of all features, see here.

I believe this is a fairly compelling service for every web publisher looking for both some valuable feedback and additional exposure, albeit I admit, the latter is to grow in value the more reviews are made and the more word spreads about Site2Review. This is why at least first 20 reviews will be completely free, so you lose nothing by trying it and see just what you can get. The subsequent reviews will be sold at an affordable price of $22 USD per review.

Thank you for giving it a chance!
