A suggestion for ReviewMe

Internet — Joe Anderson @ 10:16 pm Tuesday 13 February 2007

ReviewMe (see review) is a website which allows bloggers to sell reviews on their website with advertisers buying them. Unlike their competitors, ReviewMe require disclosure and ask for reviews to be honest. A feature it shares with its owner, Text Link Ads, is that the blogger (nor advertiser) set the pricing but instead a machine does.

When I joined, a review on my site cost $100, but this has gone up to $250. While I would normally think this is a great thing, I’m sure it’s out of the price range of many advertisers. Hence, my income from this site is likely to decrease.

I think ReviewMe should allow deals to be made on prices between the blogger and advertiser so they both find an acceptable price. This is a much better system than allowing one party to set a price as it gives more of a balance.

Also, as a side note ReviewMe are having a promotion this month. It allows advertisers to pay half-price for their reviews while the blogger receives thier normal 50% of the list price (in effect, ReviewMe are sacrificing their comission). To take advantage of this promotion use the code trial at ReviewMe. Think about it! A review here for only $125! :P

  1. I think your idea for the blogger and advertiser to negotiate a price would be a good attempt at getting more advertisers to actually buy reviews.
