Ukritic: Crowdsourcing Platform for AffiliateMarketers
By: DiTesco on April 25, 2012
Often times you will see a lot of peoplelooking for ways to make money without ablog. There are in fact a lot of ways to dothat, but sometimes, even if we have a blog,there are products that could be interesting to
write a review of, but won’t fit within o
ur
blog’s topic. When this happens, you either go crazy and use social
media platforms to promote them, use article directories, or some otherform of promotion that may or may not be as effective.Social channels are great, but there is often very little room for you tostate an opinion, and to be effective, you should be directing users to aspecific page to provide them with more information. On the other hand,article directories have the problem of having too much noise, and mostof the time, people use it for other purposes, such as for SEO, traffic
generation, and other things, which I won’t go into details. In additionmost article sites won’t allow you to use your affiliate links.
What if:
You have a place where you can be an affiliate marketer withouthaving to worry about having your own blog?Market products or services that are unrelated to the topic youare blogging about.
Test the waters on specific products or services before building asite on your own?
You don’t want the hassle of having to maintain your own site,
and still be able to write a review with your own affiliate links?
EnterUkritic.A free place where you can write and share your reviews
on just about any product or services you have an experience with.Interesting bit is that you are permitted (encouraged) to add your affiliatelink, to direct visitors that are interested in buying the product or service
you have just reviewed. In Ukritic’s world, reviews are called “Krit(s)”and the reviewer (the “Kritter”). All krits are user generated, hence why
it is a Crowdsourced Platform for affiliate marketers.
Why Should You Consider Using Ukritic?
In addition to the bulleted items mention above, I believe that theconcept is quite interesting and unique, because it is good for everyoneinvolved. People nowadays would normally initiate their onlineshopping by searching for honest and credible reviews. The better a
review is “presented” to the potential buyer, the better it will help themmake a decision. Every krit has a user generated “voting” system,
meaning that people can say anything they want, thumbs up or downyour review, etc. The better your ratings, the better your reputation, thelikelihood of generating a sale.For affiliate marketers, having the possibility of earning extra income with quality online content is something new. Note that I mentionedquality, and this is where the founders of Ukritic are very, very strict.
Every “krit” is reviewed meticulously.
Don’t even attempt to use the platform for SEO, some shady traffic
generation scheme, or anything related. Getting caught is grounds forbeing banned and your earnings forfeited. Yep, no quality

it’s bye, bye
for you.
Is Ukritic For You?
–
The Quality Guidelines.
Here is where I think that Ukritic has an edge. To get your reviewpublished, understand that they have strict quality guidelines. They arenot a SEO dumping ground, so forget about using the platform forbacklinks and all that SEO stuff. Your objective is towrite an honestreview a
nd include affiliate links (the “Go” button in the image below is
an aff link).Abide by their guidelines and not only will you get positive ratings fromot
her users, you will be on Ukritic’s good graces. If you are not able to
write honest reviews, then I am telling you right now, that it is probably
just a waste of your time. Ukritic’s review pages are fully interactive and
allow for other users/consumers to add their own opinion and rate themaccordingly. Such feedback will reflect directly on your credibility andreputation.
