I am, like most of you, always on the hunt for quality backlinks or sources of targeted traffic.

I've read about paid blog reviews, but never have tried them. Well, I finally went for it plunking $200 bucks down with ReviewMe.com. First, I was surprised by how many sites there were in the make money online/affiliate marketing niche. Not only an abundance of sites, but sites with good PageRanks, low Alexas and quality content.

Reviews cost $40-$7500, with most averaging $40-$60. While there are many blogs in the $100 per post range, I discovered the $40 and $60 paid reviews are just as good.

Site is easy to use and the quality of reviews were good. Not great, but good and I picked up solid backlinks and a little traffic. It's a great way to acquire niche baclinks which are VERY hard to come by and essential to good SERP rankings.  

The downside: I'd order a review from a particular blog and not hear back. I think a percentage of the bloggers are not active with ReviewMe.com and I've wasted a lot of time trying to find bloggers to take my money and review my website. In the last month I've purchased 12 blog reviews and only had TWO pick up my offer... the rest didn't even bother to respond. If they're not interested in my site they're suppossed to reject the review and I didn't get that. They're simply didn't respond. I still have money in my account.

That has been frustrating, but overall I think the site is a great way to pick up high PR niche backlinks and traffic without getting in trouble with the Google God for link scheming. Try it out.

Oh, and if you're a blogger consider signing up and getting paid to blog. I don't think you'll get rich, but it could be easy to snare an extra $100-$1000 bucks a month.
