I’ve been looking into the popular pay-per-review site, ReviewMe.com, as I look for ways to start spending mullah on promoting Ryan Mayberry dot com, as well as my main project. ReviewMe allows members to pay for other (usually popular) sites to “review” them – basically recommend the site to its readers. But after looking at both the ReviewMe prices and then the prices listed on the actual site, I found that you can save money by not going through ReviewMe.com.
I found a site which involved women’s fitness – which would be great to advertise FitConnect because we have trouble evening the number of guys and girls on the site. Apparently men are more interested in FitConnect than women. Anyway, the site was listed at $100 per review.
I’m looking to start spending about $400 a month advertising FitConnect, so I was open to the $100 fee. However, I wanted to check out the site more. When I looked at the site, it had an alexa ranking of 50,000 – which is good. Looking further, however, I found that they had an advertising link, so I looked into that as well.
I was shocked to see that they offered site reviews for $50 (which I could probably bargain down to $40). This makes me wonder how big of a cut ReviewMe takes. Do they really take half? That’s kind of crazy. As a middleman, I don’t think they should be taking more than 30%. After all, they really don’t provide much of a service. They pretty much just list some sites that are willing to review you.
News Flash! Any site will review you for money – just have to offer the right amount. I’m not listed on ReviewMe yet (not sure if I’ll even bother) but I can guarantee you that if you offer me money (this early along, anything) I will review your site. So don’t go throwing double the money away on ReviewMe. We’re in a recession, cut out the middleman and save some cash for gas money.
PS – I’m open to exchanging reviews on sites, email me at ryan.mayberry@fitconnect.com
