RottenTomatoes.com - Articles/Reviews

rsstites

I just got an email from RottenTomatoes.com saying I was accepted into their network. They haven't added me yet, they wanted some more info. But assuming everything goes okay then they will display HeroesOfGaming.com's reviews along with GameSpot, IGN and others.

This is a big step for us. Next will be GameRankings.com.

If you write reviews for the site I can register you as well. At least I can after I use 50 of your reviews on the main site. I know it is a bunch, but it is their rules.

I can do 50 reviews. I should do that this spring break.

GameRankings is specific for video game reviews. RottenTomatoes is mainly movie reviews.

We'll get more traffic from GameRankings, but they have higher requirements, and I may have pissed them off a couple of months ago.

Niether site has their own reviews (not usually) they take an average of dozens of other reviews and average them together. GamkeRankings is part of GameSpot.

So could some of the reviews we have already done get put onto the site?

Only once I have used 50 of your reviews on the main site. It is their rules, not mine. Then they have to accept you, and it can take months right now. I have an acceptance email, but I don't know how much longer until I'm activated on their site.

Sounds good. I'll start writing right away! Smile

Just try not to include lists (pros/cons). Work the lists into paragraph form, that would be much more usefull. I don't like posting the lists 'cuase they don't look professional.

Ah sorry. I just liked how they make things clear. I'll try not to.

Feel free to add them, but try to work it into paragraph form as well. It just looks more professional. I will probably use the article as is without the pro/con list for the main site, but the pro/con will remain in the Member Reviews section...

Oh, back on topic, my Rotten Tomatoes account was fully activated and I added King Kong to their network to test out the system. I have about 100 reviews to add, but It'll take me a few weeks to get them all up. (I can only add Shadowcat's and mine right now).

I thought I would update the RottenTomatoes.com process. We have been accepted into their network, but they won't add any new media to the TomatoMeter until they finish re-working the site. They don't have any time frame on when that will be.

The TomatoMeter is where the inbound hits will come from. But I have still added twenty-one reviews (I still have about eighty more to add that I can add). For those who care, here is a link: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/gsource-1717/

How many more reviews do i have to get before i can get some onto the site?

I have to publish at least 50 of your reviews on the main site, then the RottenTomatoes editors have to review your articles and make sure they are acceptable.
