@Sire, you bring in a very important point. It can make money at the same time can help you (and advertiser) with traffic as well. And like I said it dependes on picking the right topics and advertiser.

As for the special ops category, yep, I have seen a few bloggers doing that… Some even call that category ‘Paid Reviews’. As for me ‘D$ Product Reviews’ contain both, though I am going slow on paid reviews… Perhaps, once a month, that is it.

At one stage I was making 400-600 dollars a week doing paid reviews, but more to prove that it could be done than anything else. I’ve also found that doing the right reviews will also increase your SERP. Doing reviews shouldn’t hurt your blog as long as you make them interesting. Some of my best posts were reviews.

Even though some advertisers are adamant about disclosure, there is a way around it. I have a disclosure policy which states all reviews can be found in the ‘Special Ops’ category.

@ZK, they can have conversions depending on what you write about… For example, when a new Ad Network is launched paid reviews are one of the routes they usually take to market the same and get huge number of publishers, affiliates and advertisers. Another most important aspect is the brand building and creating ‘buzz’ via mass web presence and searchability.

@Frank, couldn’t agree more… Most advertisers that you get via paid review service sites ask for those backlinks. However, you can also negotiate for not providing backlinks and also pick up private paid reviews sales.

I think this is a good guide, particularly your last tips about the potential problems. One problem I've ran into are 'advertisers' insisting on a front page link which isn't something you can do that easily with a magazine style theme.ZK - Paid reviews are for one thing only, getting PageRank from a blog. That's why Google penalizes you for paid reviews unless you use the nofollow tag.Frank C's last blog post... Dazzle Video Creator Platinum Review

@Samrat, thanks a lot for the stumble

@Hussein, there’s a saying ‘Honesty is the best Policy’, you are so right. Sticking to the niche, being unbiased and being honest should do the trick

The best thing to consider is to be honest. Tell everything you want to say.. negative or positive. But still try also to stick with your niche.Hussein's last blog post... Blogs That I Read and Enjoy - Part 2
