Sponsored Post Network Reviews
Sponsored post networks are marketplaces, where advertisers pay bloggers to write a review of a product or website. Sponsored post is usually the most profitable thing a blogger can do to bring revenue to their site. To be eligible for these sponsored post networks, your blog has to have a posting history and possibly some minimum ranking requirements.
I’ve been a longtime member of almost a dozen different paid blogging networks. There is only a few worth mentioning because many of them have lack of opportunities, or most of them are very low paying compared to the other networks. Below are the top 3 I’ve found, based on how much money they have earned me.
SponsoredReviews.com: They operate on a bidding system where you find opportunities and bid a price on it. The advertiser can accept, decline, or give a counterbid. The problem with this network is you usually have to bid on 10 to 20 just to get even one counter offer. Often that counteroffer is lower than you want too. Advertisers can also contact you first and buy a sponsored post, which you can accept or deny, but those don’t happen too often. Payments are done every 2 weeks by Paypal and there is no minimum required before payment.

ReviewMe.com: I’ve recently been having good success for Review me. The better ranking your blog, the higher paying opportunities you will be eligible. If your blog has very few backlinks and low alexa, chances are you won’t get opportunities often and they will be all fairly low paying. Everyone with a blog should sign up because you’ll get some opportunities occasionally once your blog is approved in the system. After you accept a review, you get a few days to write it. Each sponsored post must always be 200 words minimum and declare itself as sponsored post in the post somewhere.
Advertisers can also find your blog in the marketplace and buy a review on your site directly, but that’s rare because there is thousands of blogs in their marketplace for advertisers to choose from. You can also display a review me badge on your site, where advertisers can click on it and buy a sponsored post for your asking price. Payments are done by paypal with no mimimum payout and by other options with a $25 minimum payout. Post approval has always been fast and payments on time.

LinkWorth.com: The network is small so don’t expect paid opportunities to often from them. Once your blog is registered and accepted, you have to wait for the opportunities to come to you. You have a choice of a 70/30 or 50/50 profit split. I’ve found that the 50/50 allows me to get more opportunities. They have other things such as text link ad and banner ad opportunities, which is why I recommend signing up for them, so you have access to all these things even if you don’t get many sponsored post opportunities.

BuyBlogReviews.com: This network works similiar to SponsoredReviews.com in which you bid on opportunities or advertisers can directly purchase posts from your blog. There is less opportunities and most pay less than SponsoredReviews.com, but its good to use multiple networks because SponsoredReviews.com is pretty competitive to get opportunities. BuyBlogReviews also has less stringent standards on keeping your blog in the marketplace to be eligible for opportunities compared to SponsoredReviews.com.

Great reviews on sponsored post sites. I used to do sponsored posts, but Google caught me and knocked my PR 5 blog all the way down to a PR 0.

Which one is the better one to try???

Sign up for a few of them and find out which one you like the best. Ive gotten opportunities from all of them, but some do better than others depending on your blog.

I’ve been debating whether I should get into the review marketplace for some time…
Google is not kind to those who do it.
Not sure if it is worth doing long term… what do you think?

I’ve never actually tested it from a advertisers perspective so don’t know how effective it is from that viewpoint. As a blogger you can earn good money writing sponsored posts. I’ve seen quite a few “repeat advertisers” spending money month after month, so it probably does work well at least for certain niches where there is a good return on traffic/brand recognition.

You can take the traffic with seo and can convert it into cash

I hope that these sites don’t care about page rank.

Thanks for posting this! It was quite useful to me
Which do you think would be best for a site with a low PR/alexa and not that many backlinks? Would any of these sites even accept a blog like that? Thanks!
