Paid blogging critiqued - Reviewing ReviewMe.com

At first glance, ReviewMe.com looks like a great service. Pay reputable bloggers to post about your product or service and receive feedback good or bad. I decided to take ReviewMe.com for a spin as an advertiser and see if it was worth the dollars.

I decided to purchase some blogging reviews for my fitness site gimme20.com. I selected a number of fitness related blogs with reasonably high PageRanks and Alexa rankings. After all, product feedback only goes so far: It is nice to get a quality link sometimes.

Two fitness blogs responded to my request and decided to write articles on Gimme20.com. The first blog, Self Help Daily, wrote an excellent blog post, outlining negative and positives about our product. The article appeared on the front page (where latest posts usually do), and could easily be found by browsing the helpful menus in the right sidebar.
