So in the world of paid adverts, click throughs, and content based advertising, the world of making money form you blog or websites become very complicated. I’ve used a number of methods to try and make a little money from my blog, namely google, and amazon. However the success of these has been varied, making really only a small amount of money each quarter.
I was reading Alans blog today and saw a great post about a new system that really seems to make much more sense. ReviewMe.com is a site which allows advertisers to review blogs and websites in the system (i.e. potentially yours) and offer the chance to review stuff for a fee from them. Basically, as a blogger, you register and describe your blog using tags that describe the content. ReviewMe check out your ranking through a number of ranking systems (technorati, alexa etc) and as long as your reasonably popular, your accepted to take ‘jobs’ to review products or services, for cash. The cash can either be paid through paypal or by cheque (I opted for paypal).
Your review must state that you reviewed the item for cash, but the review doesn’t have to be positive, only honest. Much more pleasant and legitimate than the nasty PayPerPost non-disclosure debacle where some advertisers require a positive review and won’t allow you to disclose that it’s a paid-for post. With reviewme you can be as critical as you want.
As a first review your offered the chance to review ReviewMe.com (for a $20 reward), and I guess its really going to rely on who the advertisers are and how much control they are willing to pay, and if they are happy to get honest reviews.
The system itself looks pretty good, and I’ll be updating as I go on the way it performs, but I would at the moment, wholeheartedly recommend that you pop over there, register and get $20 for a review.
This post is brought to you by reviewme.com and was part of a paid review system. The review is honest and reflects my views and not the fact I was paid to review it!
