Hello,  we are looking for information on how to have external reviews show up on IMDB for our movie review website.  We have looked at the information and see that we need to email the Help Desk and give them our information, but can not get to the next step to see the "update" button at the bottom of each movie title.  Can anyone help us with this? Thank you!

It looks like you might be accessing an outdated help file there.  Please could you share the URL of the page where you read about the "Update" button? 

To add an external review please visit the title page for the corresponding film and click the "Edit page" button near the bottom. On the next page scroll to the "Links to Other Sites" section and then on the menu next to "External Reviews" select "Add 1 item" then scroll down and press the "Continue" button and follow the process from there.

For a general guide to updating IMDb please see http://www.imdb.com/help/?adding/

Thanks Peter, I've amended the "Update" text to "Edit Page".

Thanks for getting back so quickly!  I was able to find the edit page and external review link to other sites.  Problem is all of our review pages have the movie title on the URL (for example our review url for Split looks like this   https://horrorhorns.com/2017/01/31/split/

I guess our only option is to edit our page via word press so the movie title will not show up?  Or can we do it via tiny url?  which i did and it looks like this:  https://tinyurl.com/jkdw8yq
Would IMDB accept that?
thank you so much for your help!

Hi Kevin,

No we wouldn't accept a tiny url but the link you included above in its current form https://horrorhorns.com/2017/01/31/split/ would be fine to add to the External Reviews section of the title.
