I like the Review Me approach, much more than PPP’s one which doesn’t fit within the blogging “philosophy” if there is one… I think PPP will not succeed to attract enough bloggers to create a sustainable business model.
The Review Me model by contrast seems to be more attractive since bloggers are asked to choose and review products (something bloggers usualy do for free). As I understand it, or I feel it, is that bloggers get paid when they publish a review and not for the product advertisement as such. In fact I see the advertisement as a by-product of the review, a benific (or not) side effect. There is a small bu important difference between Review Me approcah and other similar blogs ads services.
Anyway, I don’t know if this model will work. I guess I won’t get a chance to try it since my blog is in french
I think you summarized exactly what differenciates both services business model. (Much better than I did actually :P)
Like I said, it will all depend on whether and which advertisers bite this bait. If all we can blog about is medication drugs or casinos, I won’t be using it at all. If we can blog about movies (!) or tech gadgets (!) and the such, then I might.
What I also like is that the pay is decent. In some blog networks, where you are paid by post, you get a mere 5$ per article. With ReviewMe, your notoriety precedes you and determines your value. And the starting price is not too bad. I didn’t mind spending an hour or two writing about ReviewMe, because I knew I got a good return.
Houssein: You have a good point about the language issue. I feel there is a need, and a demand for such services in other languages. If ReviewMe and the current big ad networks don’t provide them, we’ll have to do it ourselves. And in fact, I think we should. This might be our passport to becoming a millionnaire!
I feel confident we could do something pretty cool. Are you in?
All very interesting information and timely as I’ve been eyeing your Performancing Partners ad space for a link to my site. I’m using Performancing with other sites with much success. Based on my budget I suspect/hope to be a paying advertiser on your site soon. With your added information I might use a different advertising service, *hats off* to you for your insightful post.
Do you have experience purchasing ads with these advertising networks?
ReviewMe actually pays as low as $40 per review, so $20 to the blogger. That’s the lowest price I’ve found for one of the blogs registered there so far.
I’m registered there as well. What are your throughts on Blogitive at http://www.blogitive.com ? I’ve be interested in hearing what you think of it. They’re really ramping up now and putting the call our for bloggers. If you’re not registered, use me as a referral - colleen_cc@yahoo.com
Thanks for the comment, Colleen.
I hadn’t heard of Blogitive before. I’ll have a look.
Thanks for taking the time to spread the info!
Have a nice stay on martinbreton.com!

Looking forward to doing business with you, Dee.
