Vortexmind: free your mind Tu ne cede malis sed contra audentior ito

Advertisement: Review Me – get paid to post?

As seen on sanbaldo I've just discovered Review Me, one of the new thriving services that link together bloggers and advertisers. Taking the next step from targeted ads, Review Me let bloggers subscribe to thier network and get a popularity ranking for their blog, based on Technorati, Alexa and RSS readers stats. If your blog is accepted, you will get a pricing (derived from popularity stats) and then you could be contacted by advertisers to write a review of their products and/or services. So, you get paid for writing reviews. The idea is cool (not new, but cool): the only concern is about the review contents: as I get paid to write a review, you can think that my review will be biased. Even this post is a paid one, as Review Me let you write your first review on themselves. But guidelines on their website are pretty clear on this:

Can advertisers require a positive review?
We do not allow advertisers to require a positive review. The vast majority of reviews are measuredly positive, although many do contain constructive criticism. We view this as a bonus: how else can you quickly and cheaply get feedback on a product or service from influencers?

So, I must second sanbaldo's negative feedback: why only 50% of the share goes to the blogger? My blog was rated 60$ , but I only take 50% on this (30$). I think that bloggers should get more of the cake, as we do the most important part in the system.
