He's fabulous (teaches haircutting in Paris!) and cheap. €16 for a cut. It was only an extra to find that I, living in small city Italy, had been transformed into the aunt of an Asian businessman in Canada. Some luck, eh? I was told that being tightly focussed made a blog more successful, but I can't do it on one blog, so I started another that is one subject only. I can introduce you to my hairstylist.

That's why I love your blog... I guess I did something right (for a blog with a PR4). I got another review request the other day. It was relevant to my topic, so I took the offer. Of course, I don't get the amount of money you receive for a review. I'm still grateful that the advertiser chose me and I take that into consideration when I write the review. It's all about the golden rule, wouldn't you agree? Thanks for the info! That’s why I love your blog…

It's very enticing to take anything that crosses your path. My blog's still not in a situation where I can be very picky, but I still do pass up some opportunities to avoid poor writing. Weak reviews still happen, but they're less frequent because I'm able to be more selective. Reviewme has been a very dry well for me though. I think it's great to hear that you've had 9 ops. It makes me laugh because they had been quoted as saying that they were going to blow Pay Per Post out of the water. If a great blog like yours has only 9 ops, then I don't think their future's looking too bright. That’s great advice John, being willing to reject reviews is probably the best advice you can give.

I agree with you on your point about rejecting reviews. If the product or service being reviewed is not directly related to weddings I have no option but to reject it. In fact even if it is a very good match but it is too soon after the last review I reject it. It is about keeping your standards and not looking for the quick buck. I also try to keep my reviews to a very high standard, after all I want to offer a quality read to my visitors. It is counterproductive to write a short 200 word review, in time the review offers will dry up. Best Wishes Elle John you offer some very sound advice.
