You people make too many generalizations. I wrote the Xoxide X450 case....here are my replies to many of your comments...
1) Why do you break up your articles?
Like many people here, I do not enjoy excessive scrolling. No, I do not get more ad clicks from creating multiple pages. This is solely for ease of use.
2) You're in it for the money.
What money? I haven't made a dime off of WinHQ.
3) You're in it for the review samples.
If I was in it for the review samples, I would have many more reviews than I currently have. I mostly give away my free gear in contests and to friends.
4) You're in it for the ad clicks.
This is closely associated with question #2. The only reason why I have ads is because I need to post them in order to receive samples. No samples==no review content. If you look at the ad URLs it does not link to any tracking system. The ad at the top of my site pays for the web hosting. I have and will continue to try to keep the amount of advertising to a minimum.
5) There are so many tech sites!
Yes, there are indeed many tech sites. About 50% of them are pure shit. They are definitely in it for the sponsors and their reviews are filled with an absurd amount of grammar/spelling errors. I strive to not make my site like that.
I started my site not even knowing the concept of free hardware, so why would my site have its foundation on free hardware?
About the "bling" comment.
I try to keep my site a little bit laid back, this is not a magazine.
