Frequently asked questions

Please choose a question from below for the answer:

1. How does this site work?

The site works with the input of review site owners. They simply post their latest news for automatic submission into our database which means that their review is automatically shown and displayed for anyone to see. If you have a publisher account, and have signed up to recieve email from the right category, you'll also get a pre-formatted email which will make it a lot easier and faster to enter news for your website.

2. So how does that help me?

By providing a platform with standardized communication, it allows you to forget about your email list altogether. Instead of having to dig for email addresses to get shown on other review sites, you'll simply have to fill out one form, and everyone can see your review. Emails are only sent to publishers who request them, which is dependant on category.

3. What are the benefits?

Information that is already freely available is now easy to access and in one place. Rather than searching, you can just find. And find a lot. Quality news sources are difficult to find, and now you have one. With the simplicity of one form, your message can be everywhere immediately. No more waiting for emails to send, the recipent to read and post. Instead instant posting and instant notification to subscribed publishers.

4. Who can post new reviews?

Only review sites are allowed accounts which are human vetted before they are allowed to post a review. Any review site may request an account, and we don't judge sites depending on size or readership. The only thing we ask is that your site has been going for more than a month. We don't want spam posts, and I'm sure you don't either. We also hold the right to decline membership, or cancel your account if your posts/reviews are not up to par. Only if you spam will your account be banned permantently. Instead, we have temporary bans for publishers which are not at the level that the community expects.

5. What is the Trust system, and why is it used?

Trust is our way of preventing spam posts, and providing you a way of improving your viewing figures. Higher Trust figures relate to the number of successful articles that the Publisher has added; hence a higher Trust signifies a higher quality, or more trustworthy Publisher and content.

6. Will this site improve my review reads?

Yes. Almost definitely so. Thanks to our knowledge of the search engine optimisation (SEO) arena, we can provide pages that Google loves and gains higher ranks as a result. Also, your posts are emailed to subscribed publishers getting your message out as quickly as you post it. Our site gives you PageRank, gives you readership, and gives you coverage.

7. What does the ‘new’ symbol mean on the front page?

This means that the review has been submitted to us within the last 5 hours. This allows you to quickly see at a moment’s glance what the latest reviews are.

8. Where are the icons from?

Check out http://www.famfamfam.com. The author has freely released over 1000 icons for use anywhere; all he asks is a link back and we're more than happy to do so.

9. I run a review site, can I use your information for my news?

Of course, that’s the whole idea. We don’t limit anyone who uses any content from the site, including the EasySelect boxes, or directly from any of our feeds. All we ask is that you have a link back to tech seed somewhere on your site to allow others to get to know about our service.
