Every site in ReviewTycoon is either a review site or a content site. You choose the type per site, and you can switch at any time. All accounts can now create content sites.
What is the difference?
- Review site (the default): built around your offers. Visitors compare offers, read and write reviews, and see top 10 lists, rankings and awards. Articles support the offers.
- Content site: built around your articles, like a magazine or blog. The main menu is made from your categories, subcategories and the articles in them, the footer shows your latest articles, and related articles are picked by relevance. You can still add offers and link to them from your articles.
On a content site, review-specific parts are switched off: there is no top bar and there are no rankings or awards. Your sitemap focuses on your categories and articles; the offer directory, offer list and reviews pages are left out of it.
How to choose the type
- New site: on Add Review Site, set Website Type to Content.
- Existing site: open the site, go to Main Settings and set Website Type to Content or Review, then save.
Switching the type does not delete anything. Your offers, reviews, articles and categories stay where they are; only the way the site presents them changes. Your URLs do not change either.
Tip: the Content template
Under Appearance → Template you can choose the Content template, which is designed for article-driven sites. Use Preview on your site to see it on your own site before you save.
