I was finally given the opportunity to write a real review, so I decided that I would give it as a means of showing people what the reviews are going to consist of. If you are interested in getting a review, please follow the image on the right and sign right up. So, let’s get started on this first review.

Pay Per Post is a great way for people to make money and to get great reviews to their site. Although, at first, they did not accept my blog because it was believed to have been created for the sole purpose of making money through their network, a second application in and I was accepted without hesitation. That was one of the first features that I found absolutely amazing about this service. Once they opened their doors to more bloggers, it opened a new passageway into providing content for publishers. But, looking at how their system is, I have to say that it is an even greater system for the advertiser.

Because of their vast blog network, the options are nearly endless about what you can get blogged about. Since the site is a marketplace for people to buy reviews of their site or their product, it is definitely one of the better places to go. I have seen a lot of places that provide this service, but very few have ever had the same ‘professionalism’ and yet at the same time ‘relaxed feel’ to them that I think is imperative for an online business such as this one.

One of the things that I find rather useful on it, coming from a publisher’s perspective, is how they put you into their marketplace, but they also show you different opportunities that you can pick from when deciding what to write about. Some opportunities only pay five dollars while there were a few that paid a great price of $250.00. If that’s not a nice chunk of change for writing a review, I honestly do not know what is. And since you get to keep the majority of your profits unlike other companies similar to this, it really is a great feature for publishers to use.

Although I am new to Pay Per Post, I have to say that it is a great system to use if you are looking to make money writing reviews or if you are looking to create more buzz about your site or your product. Whether you are a blogger or an advertiser, what they offer is something you will guarantee to find useful and enjoyable. Check the site out and if you decide to sign up, sign up knowing that all it takes it a bit of hard work and some motivation and even you can be making some money. It’s a good system and one that I recommend highly to other people to use. Check it out.

Since being accepted into ReviewMe, I have been really hoping that just ONE person would buy a review and then I’d be able to show that I really am serious about my reviews and then more people would do it. Unfortunately, no one wanted to fork over 40 bucks to do it and I didn’t want to lower my price so much that I did not make any money from the reviews. So, I let it sit and I continued building my site and now here we are, once again, but this time, I am giving PayPerPost a chance.

If you read my post about being accepted into ReviewMe and all of that, you’ll notice that PPP denied me at first. That makes me laugh because they said that I had made this blog just so I could profit off of them. What egotistical comments. Anyways, I got an e-mail about three weeks later being invited to PPP again and when I told the person why I did not want to use it, he was all, “that won’t happen now, we’re so cool, etc, etc.” I said no still because I had a lot of faith in ReviewMe. But, still nothing from them, so now I will try PayPerPost.

If you’re curious about what my reviews will look like, continue reading the article about my acceptance and denial and it will all make sense. I want to give you what you deserve. For twenty bucks, you still deserve an amazing review and that’s what I will give. Now…There is one thing that I know will happen. If I do start giving reviews, I know that I will have to increase the number of posts that I make. But, this isn’t a bad thing, so maybe these reviews will really help my site grow. If you’re interested in getting a review, just go click that button I put on my sidebar and try it out. Thanks!

Now, I know that at one time, I mentioned that it was very important to me to build relationships with people. That’s why I went with ReviewMe. I’ve often been asked why I would give up half of the money that I could make and do all the work and my answer has always been the very same thing. I do it because I hope to one day make a relationship with the ones I work with. I hope that when I become much bigger and my links are worth more and my reviews are worth more, that I’ll make a relationship with the owners of text-link-ads and reviewme. Having these relationships can actually help because it helps them as well. Then you can maybe work out deals where you might make more money.

Now, although I really don’t like to write reviews (I haven’t written any yet) without getting it through ReviewMe, I realized something. Who is going to hire me if they have no idea what one of my reviews will look like? I wouldn’t hire me. And since forty dollars is quite a bit of money to risk on a review that no one knows what will look like, I thought up a way to maybe get someone to get a review from me. I figured that once people saw how I wrote reviews, they’d be more willing to step forward and hire me. Because of this, I am going to offer one or two reviews for only $20.00.

Now, I understand that twenty dollars is still a lot of money, but as you can read on my post describing what my reviews will look like, I intend on making each review very well written and offer a lot of information on how to expand on it. I really do hope that one or two of my readers will get one of these reviews. If all goes according to plan, I will be able to get about five reviews a month. That’ll give me $100.00 profit a month. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get more. If you want a review, please send me an e-mail here: mafiamaster922@gmail.com. Thanks.

I finally surpassed the Technorati 100,000 on Zerotomed.com. I am so excited about this because that has been by driving factor for so damn long and I can finally say that I have slammed right through it. Okay, maybe the word “slam” is the wrong one. I didn’t exactly slam right through it, but I can say that I did pretty well. There were some benefits, I am sure, of this decrease in a technorati rank, but for now, let me first tell you what what my ranking actually was. I am sure that’s what you are most interested in. So, the rank is…Drum roll…Oh boy!

My ranking is currently 95,931. Now, is this good? Eh, in comparison to what I was yesterday which is 101K, I think that it is pretty alright. How did I get there? I am sure that the link John Chow gave me definitely helped me out. I also think that with a few different people linking to me in posts and the constant comments I’ve been doing has definitely helped me out. I’ve learned that by commenting on blogs, I can get an increase in links, especially if they have that top commenter plugin. I might have to add it myself just to get more comments. Who knows?

Why is this so exciting for me? For some reason, ReviewMe decided that I was worthy of an increase in price for a single review. Now, I am priced at sixty dollars! This means that for every review that I write, I get thirty bucks now! That is really awesome and I am very anxious about that small detail. If I can get a couple of reviews a month, I can see a little money coming in. And it gives me more motivation to try and get an even better technorati ranking. One final thing that I wanted to ask of everyone since we’re talking about review me. If you like this blog, please consider joining my RSS feed.

Since I was accepted into ReviewMe, I have been looking to write a few reviews. The only thing that I realized about a week later was that finding my blog was going to be rather difficult because of the price. The way they rank it, it goes most expensive to least expensive and since a review from me is only worth $40.00 (but, I promise that is going to go way way up…Going to work on getting this blog built), no one is bound to ever find it. It’s a downfall, but then I thought that maybe I should put a nice big button into the post so that you know to check it out! I don’t know, maybe just some way for you to go, “oh fun! CLICK!” Maybe that way, I’d get my first review.

If you don’t remember, I had big intentions on writing extremely well written reviews. I don’t believe in crappy reviews. I don’t believe in their rule that you only need to write 250 words. Two hundred and fifty words? That’s it?! Damn…That’s about sixteen cents a word. The going rate, professionally, for articles could be anywhere from ten cents and up. So, two hundred and fifty words? I think not. If you remember reading my post Accepted to ReviewMe/Denied from PayPerPost, it explains a lot about what I intended on doing with my reviews. Check it out, read what I intend to offer per review and then think about clicking the link below. You’ll get a good review and that’s an important thing. Thanks!

Alright, so, things continue to look up (despite my small downtime last night when I messed up some coding on the index.php file on this site. I’m a moron. :p). Anyways. Things are looking up. I was accepted into ReviewMe, which is great because they pay wonderfully for reviews. To get a review from me, it costs forty dollars, but I don’t think that’s too bad. I’ll explain more in a little bit about what I’ll be including in my reviews and the such. What I want to touch on is how Pay Per Post denied me. I want to just say that their reasoning behind it is entirely confusing. According to them, I am someone that is attempting to make money from contests and pyramid schemes. Well, I’ll show you what they said:

Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that this blog is being kept up only for purposes of payment through our services and/or payment from online contests, lotteries, pyramid schemes, etc. It is in our advertiser???s best interest that we do not allow these types of blogs to take the opportunities in our system. Thank you for your interest in PayPerPost, and sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

So, according to them, the ONLY reason I made this blog is because I wanted to make money from PayPerPost. Well, isn’t that lovely. No, that’s not true. I have no reason to make $5.00 a blog post writing about someone else’s site. Well, that’s their choice. I don’t think my readers think that I made this blog to make money from their program. And I definitely don’t do lotteries of pyramid schemes. And the only mention of a contest is for my forum. Ah well…Such is life. I got accepted into ReviewMe and THAT is exciting.

ReviewMe:

So, what am I going to be doing with ReviewMe, you may be asking yourself. Well, even if you’re not, I’m going to show it. I am a firm believer that for $40.00, the advertiser deserves something good. They don’t deserve a crappy post. They deserve something good. So, here is what I am going to do for anyone that gets a review from me. For each review, I am going to sit down and go over a few important points on their site.

The first is going to be ad placement. I am going to look at it and see how interested I am to ever click on them. If the ads are in a place that my eye naturally lands on, I’ll let you know. I’ll give you my advice on a good place to put the ads and where you might want to change it. I may not be the biggest expert in it, but I’ve found some success in my ad placement on my sites and I know a thing or two from what I’ve read in different places. So, I’ll give you what I think needs to be changed for ads.

The next thing that I will write about is the site design and content. The bulk of the site. I’ll let you know what I think of the content, if it’s coherent and whether or not it does the job. I’ll let you know what I would change and what advice I have to make the site look overall better. I’m pretty anal about things like that, so I can give you my word, the advice I give will be very honest. Honesty is important when doing reviews and I give you my word, I’ll tell you everything that I think needs to be fixed.

Finally, I am going to just give my overall advice. Tell you what I’d change and what I’d keep the same. I’ll give you the good and the bad. Overall, what I intend on doing is mentioning the highlights of the site and then, as mentioned in the previous paragraphs, I’ll explain what needs to be fixed…Or, if anything else, what just needs a little tweaking or looking in to. When on the internet, changing things and tweaking them is very important. I believe in giving the truth when I write a review. And I believe in giving you what you pay for. My reviews won’t be that minimum 200 words. I don’t believe in that. I believe in actually give you a good review. So, my guarantee is that you will get a good review when you order one.

If you are interested in ordering a review from me, please click here. The cost is $40.00, but you’ll get the review you deserve for each and every one of those dollars, my guarantee.
