ReviewMe Is Behind On Blog Statistics

By Vlad Zablotskyy February 6, 2007 Bookmark and Share

About one month ago I have joined ReviewMe in hopes to make extra cash, and I presume this was the intention of many other bloggers who joined the site. At the time of creating an account with ReviewMe I glanced through the FAQ page, which is not very extensive but I guess covers the basic questions any one would have about the site. What caught my eye was the answer to the following question:

How do I get review offers? How can I review more stuff?

In the ReviewMe system, advertisers choose which blogs review them. So basically, sit back, and let the review offers come to you.

As an online marketer “sit back and relax” is probably the least thing you want to do in order to be successful. I was looking at least for some kind of button to put on my site to let my visitors know that they indeed can have their site/services reviewed on my site.

So today, after almost one month and no review requests I decided to login and check out things. I was surprised to see that the statistics for my website about the Alexa and Technorati rank have not changed since the creation of my account see image below:

My Affiliate Journey on ReviewMe

While the change of these statistics may not be a significant one, if they not current and up to date for my blog they may be behind for your blog as well. While my blog improved little on both Alexa and Technorati over the past month, still there was an improvement. What about bloggers who through hard work were able to to achieve wonderful rankings? According to the information on the website, when pricing the reviews for your blog they factor in these rankings.

As of now I am not impressed with ReviewMe at all. How about you?

    I have been told that they are going to be updated on the first of the month, though that was on the last day of January, and they didn't specify which month.

    Hang in there

    Besides that fact, you might want to compare your stats with those on the pricing tier above you to see if it will make a difference.

    Advertisers I am sure are aware of the lag in stats, thus they will take a look at the sites.
    If I was paying for links, I would not only look at current, but growth trends.

    I have only done one review, I declined a second one (well it expired before I made up my mind about it) - The most important factor is they pay on time.
  • Thanks Andy,

    I am not that worried about the price. Currently I am at the lowest end, I believe at $60 per review.

    I think they could have done a better job keeping up with the statistics. Besides I do not understand how do they figure out the average number of "subscribers"?

    I am glad it is working for you. I will definetely hang in there. $60 is better than nothing right?

    Thanks for stopping by!
  • For subscribers I am not sure if they use Feedburner or just bloglines data.

    Of $60 you only receive half

    Just think, I am still rated the same as you, with ~300 subscribers and Alexa / Technorati both around 20k (though 3 month Alexa is 38k
  • Andy,
    That was exactly my point when I wrote:
    >>What about bloggers who through hard work were able to to achieve wonderful rankings?<<

    I think it is unfair that your blog is getting priced at $60 with so many more feed subsribers and that much better technorati rank.
  • Funnily enough, I ended up here after spotting your blog as one of the featured ones on ReviewMe then checking your RSS feed.

    Interesting about your two ratings - I just signed up with the service last night, and I am on $100 per review with Alexa around 300,000 or more, Technorati (when it works) of 25,000, and just over 400 RSS readers (higher than average given my traffic?) according to FeedBurner.

    Whether or not anyone will pay that is a different matter altogether...
