Paid to review
I have not been able to share this with you earlier. Recently, I did some analysis on my blog earnings through paid reviews. Well, before I give you details on it - let me share a fact or suggestion about blogs with paid reviews. Try to avoid stuffing your blog with paid posts only and have some real content in the blog. If you read Payperpost guidelines carefully, they expect your own interim blog posts between each paid blog post. This will not only help the advertisers & these paid blogging services but also your own blog. Would not you like to have you readers read something else than your paid reviews? The best way to find out if your blog is stuffed with paid reviews is - remove all the paid posts from your blog and see if your blog has enough real content.
I prepared a pie chart for my review earnings through various blog review services and I am surprised to see that LoudLaunch gets ahead of Payperpost and Blogsvertise this month - where it did not contribute 1/5th of the other two service in the previous month. It’s a good sign, as it seems the revenue sources are spread across evenly with different blog services and I am not dependent on any one of them. Check out this pie chart and keep guessing the actual earnings :).
Revenue Details for Oct 07
Blogsvertise and Payperpost are consistently providing me enough work to keep myself busy since last few months. Payperpost anyways have some or other task ready for you and kind of a leader in this marketplace at this moment but I have observed that Blogsvertise is also leaping ahead in grabbing more opportunities in review marketplace now a days. You might want to give both of them a try. Smorty has also came forward this month from the regular levels.
Looking at the revenue jump in various paid blogging review services, I think advertisers are more inclined to pay for blogger reviews - with good original content of 150 to 200 words & 2-3 DoFollow links. This will really make Google’s task cumbersome to find out paid links across the web.
Since my blog has achieved PR4 rank, I am getting advertiser inquiries for Direct reviews. This way, the advertisers who don’t want to pay the brokerage to review services can save that money and pass it on to blogger directly while saving some of it for themselves. I have started with it already and inviting other advertisers as well to get reviewed by PR4 blog in affordable prices. Some of you might feel the price a bit on higher side for direct review, but it’s still less than what you pay through paid review services and of course I want to give you a high quality review at this blog than just scribbling of few words any where else. This will be enough justice to your hard earned money.
