ReviewMe.com Launches for Bloggers
This following is a paid review of ReviewMe the new service from the same company that brought you text-link-ads.
ReviewMe is another way for bloggers to make money blogging. Some people may think being payed to post about a product is selling out but I think it’s a great way for bloggers to get paid for all the time they spend bringing their readers great content. After all, a reader doesn’t have to read every post, and hopefully a loyal reader will understand the need to make money for time well spent.
The system is super simple and you can apply in a couple seconds. Your blog is rated of course by, backlinks, pagerank, technorati rank, and that wonderfully controversial alexa ranking. If you make it in, ReviewMe automatically assigns your blog review posts a price and you are given half of what the advertisers pay them.
Probably the biggest plus side to reviewme.com over other pay per post/pay per review schemes is that you can write a positive or a negative review, and the review only has to be 200 words long. Which in the world of blogging a lot of bloggers have 200 word intros to blog posts!
I’ve signed my blog up as well as several others that are in my network of blogs for the reviewme system and hopefully will start seeing some review requests in my inbox.
I think ReviewMe.com will be just as popular as text-link-ads. The world is just beginning to see what a great tool blogs are for reaching very focused audiences. We’ll see if getting paid to post reviews lowers my regular readers but I don’t think a post here and a post there will ruin my numbers. If I, and the rest of the blogosphere keeps these types of reviews to a minimum I don’t see an issue.
