Just another point about Blogsvertise: I had a disagreement with them a couple of weeks back. Basically I wrote a post for them, they approved it, put the payment in my payment schedule and then, about a week later, the advertiser contacted them and said he didn't like the fact that I have disclosed it was a sponsored posts and could I change it? I refused, telling Blogsvertise that it wasn't a condition of the post (which it wasn't) that it was non-disclosed and as they had already approved it they obviously agreed it met the initial criteria too. Blogsvertise weren't pleased - they told me that unless I changed it I would not receive my payment, at which point they placed a hold on it in my payment schedule. So effectively, even though I completed the task correctly, Blogsvertise held me to ransom and changed the rules as they went along. THUMBS DOWN TO BLOGSVERTISE
I think the least considered alternative is just selling reviews directly through an advertising page. As long as you have a high quality readership you'll get a lot for ROI doing it that way.
Check us @ http://www.dewittsmedia.com/pages/contextual-links/contextual.html someone mentioned us earlier, but didn't post a url we have some publisher making around $500 per month they have multiple high quality blogs your blog must be pr3+ and no blogsport blogs, or any blogs that are spammy and ec.
There are some interesting alternatives here - I checked out Smorty and Link Army so far ... and Blogvertise, but I have not decided which one I will go with - I will try one of them and let you know how it worked for me too ... thanks!! DeWitts media sounds interesting, but the blog I am using for sponsored posts is not a PR3 yet ... I'll check it out when it is - thanks!!
Ccould you give us the Url of your blog so I could check out your blog? Is it a new blog or an old one? Just so I could figure how long it might take to reach there.
I have found that with Smorty you need to sit at your computer all day and refresh for offers, they're also snatched up really quick. I have made $100 a week from them though - just one Blog though.
Lol I did and wasnt able to find his blog Url which isn't www.dewittsmedia.com for sure because I was looking forward to check his blog By the way tdd1984, I have signed up at dewittsmedia and been wondering whether my blog will be approved because its a 3 months old blog with no PR and if you count the posts, its only 1 month that I have started to post on a regular basis. So I was wondering you know may be you could do anything about it? Oh forgot to mention, I don't like the site design of dewitts, it gave me a bad impression.
http://www.dewittsmedia.com/seo-blogs/ http://www.dewittsmedia.com/marketing.html and why did the site design give you a bad impression? as far as your blog urll its probably not approved if I'm right I talked to your through e-mail a week or so ago?
I've signed up a few weeks ago but i never heard anything since.. Im approved with my pr4 blog: www.engineeringserver.com/blog
It's the color, you know, yellow and blue just isn't the perfect combination. I thought it's another cheap ad company which will not last for a long time and that was the feeling which indeed the weired combination have given me. As far as my concern goes, this is the first time I'm talking to you.
1. ReviewMe ReviewMe actually would be pretty hard to monetize since they list all the posties blogs on the rating order. which the ratings are base on alexa ranks, technorati ranks, and feed subscribers. so if you don't have a site with high rank on those 3, you are likely not listed on that posties list. But still you can make money because, they have a campaign list (it's like an opportunity list on ppp), and we can just accept the offer and begin writing the post. once the opportunity taken, it will be gone from the list. so we can say that one opportunity is one review. conclusion, reviewme is harder to monetize then PPP 2. SponsoredReview This sponsoredReview is unique. because they let advertiser set their price range, so publisher (posties in pPp) can bid the oppurtinity with their price. Advertiser then can select which bid they accept. What I love about SponsoredReview is their referral links. You can earn up to $175 per referral. Actually I have create a post about it here (http://www.jackbook.com/2007/11/sponsoredreviewcom-launch-an-affiliate-program-earn-up-to-175-per-referral.html) on my blog, and there one of my reader had earned his first $3 just about a day after he joined the program. conclusion: Actually I have never get an order from SponsoredReview, but i have earned money with their referral. hope you can finally found the best program for you.
Sponsored Review sounds very interesting - I read your blog and I will click your link when I register ... I will be making a lot of referrals too because I teach a class about blogging and these services are a natural given - thanks a lot for the tip!!
Shameless plug - but you could always go direct. There is also a jobs board that fully integrates with the wordpress plugin, but it's not in production mode yet.
