Why I walked away from a $100 review
I’ve written around 15 or so reviews at SponsoredReviews.com, most of them coming from bids I submitted. Last week, I was sent an unsolicited review request for my poker blog. My rate for SponsoredReviews.com on the poker blog is much higher than I charge for direct-contact reviews.

If you’re not familiar with Kontera, once approved, you put their code on your site and it reads your content and places click-through links in context. But, I think something might […]

Why Paid Posts & Reviews are a Good Deal for Advertisers & (Most) Bloggers
Andy Beal posted an article last week where he reported that consumer generated content offers better ROI for marketers. He cites a study that compared cost per conversion between websites with user-generated content - forums, blogs, etc - and traditional websites. Traditional websites have a higher conversion rate that user-generated websites, but because the cost […]
