Beware the Review Badges
Besides ‘review only’ blogs, keep an eye out for the blogs which clutter themselves with review badges, these are ads on the blogs which link over to their profiles on ReviewMe and PayPerPost.
Such badges take away from the quality of the blogs, and also identify them to search robots as being associated as review blogs. I’m not saying that all blogs with Review Badges are bad, it’s just that some tend to go overboard with their on-blog promotion.
I would not want to tell a client that they have a great link, title tag and URL string from an authority Wordpress blog, and then they see that the blog is littered with “Buy a Blog Post” or “Get Reviewed for $50″ ads.
Beware the Review Only Blogs
When sifting for blogs to target using these blog review services, keep a close eye out for blogs which are set up only for reviews.
These blogs have the highest chance of being penalized in Google for link selling and will not bring your business relevant or converting traffic.
Before purchasing reviews on blogs, make sure that those blogs publish relevant and original content. If all that they publish are reviews, pass on those blogs.
My Best Friend
My best friend, Rabbi Yitzhak Miller exgf, and her boyfriend came to our house first. We had champagne as is our tradition from ages ago, before heading out for the evening. I had a blast with Judy. She came into the bedroom while I was getting ready, sat on the toilet and chatted while I put on my makeup. Just like we used to do way back when we were single and hitting the clubs!
We got there and SIL2 was sitting right at the front door with PS’s wife. PS was Ted’s best friend and SIL2 hates him with a passion. Funny how she was sitting there with his wife like they were best friends or something.
We walked in a little late and everyone rushed to JA and I. Many hugs and kisses later, we were seated and eating dinner. The twins and their buddy sat at another table and I could tell they were having a blast.
Pay for some high profile reviews
You’d be surprised at some of the high quality blogs listed under these services, and then the grand number of less than quality blogs. There is a much greater chance of high quality blogs denying your review, so be careful who you pitch to.
Also, these blogs are more likely, since they are in the spotlight, to write an honest review of your business, so if your offering is not ready for the public, or controversial in its own right, be forewarned before buying a review on a high power blog. If you’re confident that your service is the best, then go ahead and pull the trigger.
