Since launching nearly six weeks ago, I haven’t come across any ReviewMe reviews on the web although SEOBook wrote a review of a successful campaign that they ran.
I’m starting to wonder if Google have ‘killed’ this new service, by being very negative about pay-per-post advertising services. I can understand Google’s frustration with certain ad networks, but I really can’t see why a blog should be penalised for participating in a pay-per-post scheme.
Surely these ‘ads’ are no different to using ad networks that don’t serve contextual advertising? I don’t even see how they are any worse than using Google Adsense, where a blogger has little control over what ads Google displays on their pages.  If a blogger want’s to participate in a crappy scheme, then let them, as their traffic will fall as a result.
ReviewMe appears to be a good reputable service to me, as not only do bloggers have the right to reject campaigns, unlike Adsense, they can also decide whether or not to write a positive review. They also have to clearly state that the post is advertising.
Have you featured a ReviewMe review on your site? How did it go? Or, has Google scared you off?
