ReviewMe pricing - they’re kidding right?

Posted by stuart as Uncategorized

I signed up for Reviewme a while ago, to be honest I’d not thought about them for a while after the whole payperpost controversy here. I figured writing reviews of websites would get the same reaction from some of the readership that payperpost did.

On further inspection, I don’t necessarilly think that the concept of Reviewme is evil per se, but their pricing sure is!

The asking price for a pimping of your site on this blog is $60. That’s right, Sixty freaking dollars. Let’s have a look at what you get for your sixty Benjamins:

  • A single post with a couple of links in it, which will disappear off the front page of the blog and be lost to the archives forever. It will bring you no great PR value, as the permalink page of that post will have no inbound links, therefore no PR.

Doesn’t seem like much value there for the advertiser at all.

I don’t know, it’s a good way to try and get your new website or business name out there. I know what you mean though, when you compare it to the relatively low-priced PayPerPost, it does seem high. Oh well, us bloggers can only benefit from it.

I’ll be posting on this issue further tomorrow egon - stay tuned! :-)

Well like you say they may not benefit from gaining PR point of view, but I think the point of ReviewMe is more about being known and getting linked to from some popular sites, which will then send you traffic.

I guess you’re right Adam, but I would think you’d want to be reviewed on a pretty high trafficked site to make it worthwhile. This makes it more expensive too.
