Sponsored Review

For better or worse, blogging has developed into a legitimate form of media, and both bloggers and advertisers are looking for ways to leverage the growing medium with new advertising models. One such model is the sponsored review (like this one you are reading), where the writer is paid to review a product or service, utilizing the persuasive power of new age opinion leaders.

SponsoredReviews.com puts the power of choice in the hands of both advertisers and bloggers with a newly launched paid-blogging system that allows advertisers to submit opportunities and wait for bloggers to bid, or seek out authors directly; and vice versa. Other key features include:

1. Automated Rating System - Their rating system will make it easy to find high quality blogs.
2. Bidding System - Advertisers and publishers can negotiate pricing
3. Manual Pricing - Bloggers will be able to set their own prices. Their system will make recommendations based on an automated ratings system, but bloggers will be able to choose their own price.
4. Full Disclosure Required - They take their responsibility very seriously.
5. Tag Based Organization - Their interface is well organized and easy to use.
6. Quality Standards - Their minimum standards for bloggers will insure that only quality blogs are allowed into the system.
7. Large Base of Advertisers - 360 Enterprises, Inc. currently serves thousands of businesses, which will be hot to purchase reviews from the bloggers.
8. Service Oriented Model - Their large staff will be actively working with advertisers and bloggers to maximize their exposure.
9. Bi-Weekly Payouts - Get paid fast. Most of their competitors pay out monthly.

They are looking for feedback, so give it a try. What have you got to lose? “Bloggers earn cash, advertisers build buzz.” Sounds like a win-win to me!
