ReviewMe! just sent me an email announcing some changes to their product.
ReviewMe is a service that enables bloggers to write reviews on companies and products and get paid for doing so. The price they are paid was, prior to this upgrade based upon a number of key metrics relative to Alexa, Technorati and RSS feed subscribers. They’ve since changed this and enabled you to set your own price.
I think this is a useful change as it enables me to pitch my time at a level thats more acceptable to me. My blog for example, is relatively new. My metrics therefore are relatively low; this equated to a low price being generated by their auto calculation system. As I can now set my price to something that I feel is more reflective of my time and viewpoints, I’m happy to put up a little badge here and invite you guys to have your product or blog, or site even reviewed.
If you are an advertiser then its a great way of getting people to write about what you do. You’ll get some unbiased killer feedback on what you do. If I think your service is lacking, I’ll tell you and I’ll say why too. If I think its great, then again, I’ll do the very same.So, if you have a great product or service that you believe in and would like to have bloggers in your niche talking about it, then here is a great opportunity. Check out ReviewMe!

On the other hand, you may just have an old website kicking around that is say a hobby or enthusiast site. Its your little place on the web where you hack on about your passion and talk about new stuff and trends. Why not convert it? How long would it really take you to cut it all up or insert an extra bit of code here or there. Or failing that, why not just tag on a blog, leave the old content in place and use the options WP enables to help promote your site amongst the ever increasing wealth of diverse community mediums out there. Contextual advertising and code placement There are a number of programs out there that you can use. Adsense is the most popular, then there is adbrite and the YPN progam. Most programs operate a system whereby you are paid when a user clicks an advert on your site. Some also offer a CPM option whereby you are paid based on the number of impressions you accrue. All programs are bound by fairly strict terms and conditions, that protect the participating advertisers. [...]
Nice job, this Site is full of some great info and is surely a really good resource for us Blog Addicts, is it listed on Blogged?
