The idea is to direct traffic to your website where you then convert that traffic into sales.
So for a review site it may be affiliate links or amazon product links etc.

Why not? Have you tried?
Here's a great example (that's been active since 2008!) that uses youtube to drive traffic to a review site. The video has over 3 million views. Not bad...LOL.
I don't know if the niche is profitable so I wouldn't say it's a good idea to just dive into that niche without doing some research. I think the important thing to note is how much time and real effort the person put into making the video and creating the review-style website. The products reviewed link to what look like clickbank-type products.
Link to the youtube video (the link to their review site is in the info area beneath the video):
/watch?v=Ng6hQfGzQig
There's a soft sales pitch aspect of the video at the end. That's when I realized this is an IM effort connected to a review site!

Back then in 2011 I wouldn't have taken into consideration this approach. It was not fruitful then so can't be fruitful today where commenting is almost a sin. Review blogs in general don't have a big turn-over, a fake one is certainly pointed out. I maintained a Linux blog for years, doing a lot of reviews - it didn't earn much but it succeeded in land on important blogs like Lifehacker, and even the official Skype blog.

Im not sure if this will bring in many sells, but it would cover your cost. After your costs are covered I would pay for some .edu links and some wiki links and after you make your money back from that move to the next backlinks. After doing this for about 6-8 months your website will have great seo rankings to were you will be able to sit back and watch the money roll in or move to another project and start all over again. Thats why I love what I do, no matter what you can make more and try to work with something different everytime.

Review sites are still massive in 2013. Whoever told you otherwise doesn't know what they are talking about. Maybe Linux isn't the best niche but I see large review sites on a regular basis.

So i setup a 4 page site a month ago with ZERO promotion. Logged into clickbank today and found a sale for $40.
This method really works, I should have actually promoted rather than bailing on the site thinking it looks "shit"

Once you put the links out there,they countinously drive traffic to your site.It doesn't die just because you stop spreading links.
