    Earlier today I was browsing around the internet and wanted to share this with everyone. I came across, Social Spark and it seems to fill a void in the market place. You can check out the video with more details here.

    Oops, I for got the S in "S"Park, for the title of this thread...Sorry.

    Basically what Social Spark does is connect you with other bloggers in your niche. You can then sell blog reviews for traffic or purchase a review of your blog from a blog in your niche.

    My only problem with a website like this is how will Google treat it. We have all seen the big dog blogs get penalized from Google for selling "reviews".

    If the reviews are solely for the purpose of creating brand awareness and use the nofollow tag you should be safe. I briefly browsed Social Spark to see if they had anything to say on this subject but I didn't see it.

    My advice would be to use this service with caution. At the very least I would make sure the person that is reviewing your blog adds the nofollow tag. Remember natural link building is the safest route to ensure you don't get penalized.

    If you have used Social Park before or are going to try it out, lets us know if you're having any success or had any success with them...

    So you find something... post it. Share it. Then want to know about it. Then in the same breath offer advise on how to use it.

    Kind of confusing.

    Exactly... Thanks...

    That's how I think it should be used, but want to know if anyone has ever used them...

    But, I just found out its old news; so really doesn't matter, huh?
