Why Pay for Reviews When You Can Get Them FREE?
written by Anthony Dinh
By now, I’m sure most have you have either read or heard about Jason’s previous post “You Are A Moron If You Buy Paid Reviews For Exposure” in which he expresses his disdain towards worthless paid reviews. I was actually in the process of shopping around for a paid review and had narrowed my choices down to a few of the more reknowned bloggers when I came across his post. I was ready to spring for the $500 price tag JohnChow charges per review, but I’m glad I saw this post because it saved me a lot of money! Jason stated that paid reviews don’t convert 90% of the time, and the buzz that they generate is short term, usually only lasting a day or so. Read more about this topic in my follow-up post “Jason Pereira and Fabian Speak Their Minds About Paid Reviews“, where Fabian of SmallFishBigMoney and I also share our views regarding paid reviews.
Insignificant as it may seem, I still however, feel that there’s still some value in the buzz and traffic generated by having your blog reviewed, not to mention the backlinks that you will gain. So, instead of paying for one, I did some research and found a handful of sites where you can get your blog reviewed for free! I’ve used some of these services with positive results, so I just wanted to share them with you so you too can build up your backlinks, increase traffic and hopefully even gain some RSS subscribers.

I did free blog reviews for a while. I got tired of not even getting a few simple “thank you’s” for the effort and getting my trackbacks from review posts Akismet’ed.
frank, sorry to hear that. it’s very unfortunate that you went out of your way to do people a favor and you got no appreciation in return. well, certainly thank-u for stopping by and takin the time to comment, i’ll surely award u with a backlink!
I my self would like to do free blog reviews some time
but right now m struggling with building my blog and getting reasonable page rank
once i have achieved my daily traffic and pagerank goal i will start free blog review
hi, sameer. first, i jux wanted to say thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment! how long has your site been up, and what seo techniques have you been using? diariesofablogger has been up for almost a month now, and unfortunately, im having the same problem that you are. im doing everything i can, but i still can’t seem to get ranked…honestly, i think i got sandboxed
