Having already flirted with the idea of making money while blogging , through TextAds provided by google (which apparently didnt workout so well coz of the people simply refusing to click on 1
).
I thought of giving ReviewME a try . ReviewMe uses an algorithm based on Alexa, Technorati,feed suscribers and other statistics such as traffic,etc a to determine how much a blog post is worth on the blog. The bloggers get payout of half of what there is site is worth, so if your site is worth $40 then you will get a payout of $20 (you can even get $200 per blog post, if your site gets huge traffic and is high on technorati and alexa rankings). Also you dont get deprived of the amount that has been promised by your advertiser if the comments on your site are negative (ReviewME considers them to be a constructive critisism ).
Since i have just signed up for the service and new to it ,i really dont know how credible it is but just watching this site grow and number of bloggers getting attracted to it, it seems the site is here to stay.
The nice thing about this system unlike others is that you have to mention in the post that the product you are reviewing or writting about is an advertisment, so that users get a fair idea of what they are reading. Even otherwise reviewing is much more fun than just praising a product
Btw not every blog can signup for this service you have to pass there minimum criteria to join up. You will get your very first advertisment (review) by the reviewme guys only. So this is my first review (advertisment
)
To sum it all up i think that this service is here to stay and will definetly be better than those mindless ads that we see today on blogs.
