Today, I received an email from the ReviewMe Support Team confirming that Blogging Mix has been accepted to their list of eligible reviewers. It took me almost 7 months before the ReviewMe admin finally gave their approval for Blogging Mix.

I first signed up with ReviewMe 7 months ago. Back then, Blogging Mix was just new so it did not meet the minimum requirements prescribed by ReviewMe. Blogging Mix was denied. It was the first time Blogging Mix was denied by a Review Site but I didn’t feel discouraged. On the contrary, I took it as a challenge, which motivated me to improve my blog statistics.

After 7 months of waiting and Blogging Mix wasn’t still approved, I decided to email the ReviewMe Support Team to inquire about the problem. I have seen several blogs that have been accepted at ReviewMe, which I believe are no better than Blogging Mix. In my email to the ReviewMe Support Team, I’ve requested them to check back and reconsider Blogging Mix. They regularly check back on blogs that were denied but considering the number of blog applications they receive everyday, it’s understandable if they skip re-evaluating previously denied blogs. In my email, I have also informed them about the progress of Blogging Mix in terms of traffic, blog subscriber and Technorati ranking.

In less than 48 hours, I receive their email confirming that Blogging Mix has been accepted. This is another opportunity for me to monetize Blogging Mix. Currently, a comprehensive review here at Blogging Mix through ReviewMe is worth $100. The price of a review is based on the current market demand of a blog.

If you have been denied by ReviewMe before, and you’ve worked hard to improve your blog stats, you probably should give them a heads up. Like I said earlier, ReviewMe receives tons of blog application everyday so they probably miss checking on your progress.

Good luck and happy blogging!

Lately, I have noticed a decline in my Adsense earning, after the new policies were implemented, so I decided to look for a better alternative. I was doing the usual blog hopping when I stumbled upon BlgAds, a promising blog advertising network.

Previously, I made a list of 34 Sites That Pay Bloggers To Blog. Most of the websites on the list are review sites that pay bloggers for their reviews of websites, goods and services. With all the review sites I’ve tried, only SponsoredReviews made me some real cash.

What Makes SponsoredReviews Better From The Other Review Sites?

• First of all, SponsoredReviews.com does not use Google Page Rank to evaluate your blog’s marketability so the fear of getting penalized by Google is not likely to happen. SponsoredReviews uses Technorati, Alexa and Link Popularity to evaluate your blog’s worth for advertisers.
• With SponsoredReviews, you have more websites, products and services to review. Other review sites like Smorty, BuyBlogReviews, Blogvertise, Bloggerwave etc. have very limited review opportunities. With SponsoredReviews, you can certainly find products that will be of interest to your blog readers.
• SponsoredReviews pays their Bloggers or Publishers on time. I have been doing reviews for SponsoredReviews for over 3 months now and I haven’t experienced a delay in receiving my payment. SponsoredReviews pays every every after 15 days (twice a month) via paypal. Compared to other review sites, Sponsored Reviews pays their publisher 65%.
• SponsoredReviews allows their publishers to bid for available opportunities. Advertisers on the other hand, can accept, deny or provide a counter offer to bidders.
• SponsoredReviews offers a rewarding referral program. You can earn up to $175 per Advertiser and $90 per Blogger referred.

Here’s a snap shot of some of the opportunities available at SponsoredReviews.

Tips To Improve Your Potential Earnings With SponsoredReviews

To improve your potential earnings from SponsoredReviews, here are a few things you can work on.

• Improve your Technorati Blog Rank and Technorati Blog Authority by getting more links from other blogs. Basically, it all depends to your content. If your contents are worth linking to, links will naturally build up.
• Work on improving your Alexa Traffic Rank. I managed to improve my Alexa Traffic Rank in as short as 3 months. I wrote the Alexa people recently about improving my Alexa Traffic Rank and here’s what they said. I also challenged fellow bloggers to improve on their Alexa Traffic Rank in previous posts.
• Don’t forget to bid for advertisements. Always check for new opportunities at SponsoredReviews. Normally, new opportunities are added everyday. Alternatively, you can set your SponsoredReviews account to send you a notice everytime a new opportunity is added to their database.
• Advertisers rank your reviews and their ranking affect your image to other advertisers. It is therefore important that you read and understand the conditions of the advertisers before you do the review. Don’t bid a review if you can’t fulfill its requirements. This does not mean, however, that only positive reviews are accepted. Infact, I’ve always included constructive criticisms on my reviews.
• Participate in the referral program of SponsoredReviews. It will consume a little space on your blog and if it is placed at a strategic location on your blog, it will significantly improve your blog income.

That’s it for today. Try SponsoredReviews and come back to share me your thoughts and experiences. Thank you for your time.
