Objective reports on affiliate products are constructive and build credibility to the industry. That is what people are looking for when they do a search. They are not wanting to subject themselves to a marketing site who's motive is a sale.
My suggestion then is to keep in mind that your visitors are looking for quality reviews not sales copy. You are trying to give them a reason to click though to the sales page you are not trying to make the sale.

Here are five tips on how to make an informative product review.
1. Buy the product for your personal use.
2. Read or use the product to become familiar with it.
3. Take note of those things about it that impressed you. Make an outline.
4. Write a review from your research and use.
5. Use an image of the product in your review.
1) Using less than these five steps will take away any hope of honest reviews. Don't even think about writing a review if you haven't purchased the product. You will tarnish the integrity of this industry. If you are not comfortable using the product yourself or it gave you no real value then put that on your site also, after you get a refund. People like to see a negative review if you in reality used it. They will trust you more when it comes time to buy.
Keep in mind the mentality of the person that lands on your site for a review. The last thing they want to read is sales copy. They are looking for honest reviews of products that you have used. If you provide that they will give you respect and click though to the sales page.
2) As mentioned before it is also good practice to provide reviews of products that you had a bad experience with. This builds credibility and brings a balance to your reader. The end result will be trust.In your product reviews it is important that you inject your personality. Things like how you felt when you opened product and how much or little value it added to your life. People like hearing these things and builds trust.
In closing it is true that affiliate marketing reviews are a marketing ruse but can be useful to both buyer and seller when done right. The buyer is looking for an honest review from a product user. The seller should at minimum provide a comprehensive review from personal experience.
Affiliate marketing reviews are a great way to brand yourself on the net. Put your site up with that in mind. By putting photos, videos and information about yourself on the site you build trust. The cold generic product review page accomplishes none. People buy from those they trust.
