[...] Once your blog has a high enough ranking then consider joining ReviewMe. You won’t get as many review opportunities, but the reviews you do get will pay a lot more. There is also less of a rush to do a review because you’re not competing with other bloggers for the opportunity. A reader of this blog has commented that one of the reasons the review for linkback reviews of my blog were better than the PayPerPost reviews was due to the pressure of getting a review in before the 14 opportunities were taken up.

Sure would like to know what sort of traffic these are driving to your site and what the long-term affects will be.

[...] I must say, the quality of these “free” reviews are much higher than the PayPerPost reviews that cost me $5.00 each. I can tell many of you put a lot thought into your review. [...]

PPP appears to have definitively rejected me, for reasons I don’t understand:

“I have taken a look at your site. Although it
appears to be a great site, the format is not that of a blog. In order for our review team to be able to review your posts, they would need an archive of all of your posts. Also, you have many different tabs. We require that all posts are under one column, or the review team would be unable to determine if your posts meet the requirements. If all of your posts were condensed to once section, and you also had a chronological archive, your entry would be fine. ”

Their review team would actually read all of the hundreds of pages on my site within 48 hours? I don’t think this is humanly possible, no matter how the site is formatted. Maybe they’re using some automated software to comb the site for objectionable content, and that software can’t handle a non-blog format. Boh.

HMTKSteve- I had this problem, ended up having to change the title. I ended up so frustrated I kept rewriting the blog trying to make it fit into the criteria.

As for the quality of reviews. Compare the PPP reviews with what John writes when he reviews a site like PPP, Agloco or any thing he likes. Even his posts about food or cars require more thought than the reviews.

Seriously, maybe I’ll just join PPP and write a review blog to make money. I bet I could churn out 20 a day if they let me.

For example, here is my post about Pet Insurance. It’s a based on my dogs. I know it’s not worthy of a white paper, but come one. Look at the difference in writing and data.

[...] When reading the comments in The Reviews Are Coming In post, I noticed quite a few blogs were not able to review my blog because they didn’t meet the PayPerPost requirements of being at least 90 days old. However, I also noticed a few blogs posted a review anyway - even though they won’t get paid for it. That got me thinking about a review for linkback exchange. [...]

I just found this BLOG today. Wow, great stuff.

I tried PPP last month. They said I didn’t get enough traffic.

Love the BLOG, I added your feed to my reader.
