MyReviewer.com - Help for PR Companies
This article is primarily aimed at PR companies, those jolly nice lasses and lads who are often lumbered with the unenviable task of trying to get us lucky punters interested in some funky new product, all on a budget of twenty pence.
It also should prove a useful insight to our more regular readers, who are interested in knowing what we like and don't like PR companies doing.
What sort of things can I post on MyReviewer?
Consider what may be of interest to our users, and if something you want to promote is, feel free to post a press release as a news item, set up that item for review, add links, images, articles and interviews relating to it.
We actively encourage you to do so, and will try to help you in any way we can.
You can of course contact our review team for help, and also if you want someone to review it. Just send an email to the most appropriate of the following addresses and one of them will hopefully get back to sooner rather than later.
For DVD related items contact: dvd[at]moc.reweiverym
For Video Game related items contact: semag[at]moc.reweiverym
For CDs, Books and Films, we hope to have details for soon!
What sort of things should I NOT post on MyReviewer?
Whilst we love PR companies adding press releases, product information and articles like interviews to our site, with links on finding out more, clearly adding reviews is a big no-no.
You might think Attack of the Haberdashery Lemons from Alpha Quagmire may be the ultimate movie release of all time, but that doesn't mean you can post a review saying so. And if you pretend to be a genuine member of the public, and do that, it's even worse.
We'll probably ban you for such an offence the first time we see it, and you'll no doubt get a lot of flaming from our other visitors, which isn't good for either you or the product you were trying to promote.

Your Opinions and Comments
- Retail versions of the discs, preferably with all packaging - not essential unless it's a selling point of the DVD package.
- All discs of a series, not just a single disc with a couple of episodes. This is essential, particularly if you're not familiar with the series.
What we don't like are:
- Discs that have to be returned.
- Discs with burnt-in warnings.
- DVD-Rs that barely resemble the retail version.
- Time constraints not being taken into account - few, if any, of us are full-time reviewers and have jobs or other commitments so need enough time to watch the discs and write a review of them.
It's difficult to recommend a purchase when you haven't seen the finished product.
Thanks for reading!
