linking to a brand site

for a niche product review blog, is it stupid to link to a brand site?

Ozbvuu,

In my opinion its not the worst thing you can do. Obviously you want people to stay on your site but if providing a link to the product you are reviewing is more helpful to users, why not do it? Another strategy you could follow is to become an affiliate and review products that you get paid to link to and link to those.

Hope that helps,

Of course you have to link to a brand site (bigger site -better ) , that will help you a lot , you have to give links not only to receive.

Linking to a brand site will be useful.Its a nice option...
