Review copy

[Leon Bishop]

Hi there,

I am still new here and learning about what can and what cannot.
I come across the terms "Review Copy".

Can anyone help me with that, explaining to me what is that and can we do it here? If Yes, then what is the requirement? I don't want to risk my profile doing anything wrong here.

Thank you in advance!

You giving away your product for reviews. Though to actually sell you need an upgraded account.
You can give free stuff.

If i can give free stuff, i don't need to have upgraded account? Where can i do this?

Though I suggest you see how others post their free "services", and if its downloadable then it goes to:

If its downloadable, make sure you upload the file on a trusted provider and post the url of the virus scan results.

If its not bothering you so much, what do you mean by downloadable?

Really ?

Downloadable = it is able to be downloaded. Such as a tool, a bot or a file.

You give away something in exchange for a review.

It doesn't have to be free, it could be heavily discounted.

I am sorry. I am really new in this. A little bit confuse here because i was asking on how i can give the review copy. Sorry for the trouble!

From what i read, isn't it we cannot do that because of the quid pro quo?

You can't give a review copy of anything unless you are a seller.

If you want to do a Freebie/Giveaway you can do so, but read the rules there carefully as you are not allowed to ask for anything back ( ie feedback, reviews etc ) in exchange. So it has to be a 100% unconditional giveaway.

TOTALLY INCORRECT INFORMATION !



It is against the rules to post freebies threads that are contests or sweepstakes or to ask for anything in return.

What does that mean?

• No picking people at random - it should be first come first serve.
• No picking people based on what they post.
• No quid pro quo - you cannot ask for something in return like reviews, thanks, or anything else.

You can put requirements on who is allowed to receive it, for example:

- JrVips only
- 10+ posts
- 100+ reputation
- etc.

Sorry about that. Just to clarify. If someone has a sales thread and they do a review copy. Does that have to be totally free?

Seriously ?

I have answered this already here; https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/review-copy.1053701/#post-11343896

You are not a seller so therefore there can be no review copy.
