    Well Google don't like paid reviews at all, I think nofollow is the only way to not get you banned.

    Yes nofollow may be the only completely safe way to do paid reviews. By being careful about which websites you review, you would likely have less chance of being penalized. If you review a wide range of websites there is a chance that you could be reviewing spammy websites or bad neighborhood websites. It may also be safer to make each blog very specific to one theme and only review websites within that theme.

    Well, I just received my Payoneer card, I didn't submit my blogs to ReviewMe for approval now, so I'm waiting for some more infos .

    I plan to do only a little number of reviews, say one or two per month, only to sites that I like and that my readers will like too .

    But as Google doesn't make exceptions ( robots don't feel :rolleyes: ), I have to suspend my ReviewMe accounts ?

    Devlounge has published a paid review with dofollow links from ReviewMe and was not penalized, so I think there are more criteria than just adding nofollow links ( BTW, ReviewMe doesn't like nofollow links ) .

    You can't make it safe for Google unless you put some nofollow tag on it.

    Well then I'll wait until ReviewMe moves to nofollow ... ( which is not probable ) .
