Review of a Review Site

I was a bit surprised to see a Review Me review application (I normally receive from sponsored posts & smorty).Coming back to the review, this review is about another review site called Online casino blue book which has reviews on Top 10 Online Casino Sites.Being inexperienced in Casino business,I will review the field in which I am good at

Design

The Webmaster I think, has used Macromedia Dreamweaver for designing this site.It has a simple all text design.I think a site of this kind needs a design makeover from a quality Web Designer.There are few cheap ones out there.They may also consult a Logo designer as there present logo is of text and a such a wide used site requires to have its own trademarks.The above screenshot has been took by using Mozilla Firefox.However the border colors change while in IE.Why so? 40% net suers are using Firefox.The Firefox/IE problem would be for sure solved by a good designer

Organization
This website loses it here also.I can see 4 links from the homepage pointing towards the contact page which creates a 'mess' on the homepage.Adding to this, there is a huge sidebar 'blue' space in the center of the sidebar from the Inter Casino banner.I was pretty satisfied to see a HTML site map at least.

Miscellaneous
This site has some loose ends.There are many spelling errors and few pages haven't been updated yet.For example, the homepage footer consists of a statement " Please read are casino Disclaimer and Privacy Policy."Some pages still contain 2006 copyright message

Popularity
This site has a good amount of links pointing towards it.
Google:2,3450 but,
Alexa Rank:779,237
Seeing the huge difference in Alexa rank and no. of backlinks,I suspect that few of the links are paid (this one's gonna be added next time)

Online Casino Bluebook has so far reviewed many services out of which Inter Casino has been adjudged the best.

Online Casino Bluebook can be helpful if you want to know & compare gambling sites.This site includes Casino News,Casino Directory,Casino Reviews along with gambling sites.

How can a small/new blogger earn instantly?

My inbox was overloading with mails from small/new bloggers asking can they make money out of their new/small blog.As we all know Payperpost requires a blog to have a decent pagerank, but that is so not possible for a blogger who has just started.


If you are one of the blogger who's site is read by a wide audience despite the fact that your Alexa score is high and PR still 0, you can still get paid for blogging by a service called Smorty.

Smorty is a blog advertising service from where advertisers can advertise on blogs via sponsored posts but pay the blogger only when they find it of decent quality .The best part is that its still a new organization, so there isn't much flooding of bloggers and competition is not that stiff as on PayPerPost.Your blog can easily make most of out it.You do a honest sponsored post, your post is approved and then money in your PayPal account.Price of an average post is 6$.That means for one sponsored post you get 6 $ within a week and you are free to use that E-money for anything you like.

Unlike Adsense,
There is no minimum paying amount which is beneficial for small bloggers who's Adsense earnings take months to reach the 100 $ mark.Another interesting thing is that your blog is approved within hours.Now no need to wait days for getting blog approved.So what are you waiting for? blog for money!

Note - Sponsored Review| To get your service reviewed..

Is PayPerPost the right choice for your blog?

Webtalks reader, Carl, who read my previous article about low adsense earnings of bloggers followed me up via Email for more information on PayPerPost and does his site really need it or not.

PayPerPost lets you do sponsored posts and then earn money at a decent price. A sponsored post will make you earn anywhere between 5 $ to 500 $ depending on the rating of your site. Its almost similar to ReviewMe but a bit more helpful for small bloggers because as it is small bloggers very rarely get an opportunity to get Blog Reviews. For PayPerPost, you need to have a PayPal account.

For a higher rating of your site in PayPerPost, you need to have a high PR and a low Alexa traffic rank. When you have registered your blog, you’ll start getting sponsored post opportunities. This is a terribly good opportunity for small bloggers who don’t make much out of Adsense. I was also planning to start sponsored posts {15 $ per post} in my blog, but when I read their Terms, my mind changed. Why?

• I have to add a new label call adverts, include all sponsored posts under that and then link to it through each post of my blog. Also, I will have to put a PayPerPost logo after each and every blog post of mine. Too much Self promotion!

• I have to post three articles per month. What if there is a week called oneweekblogsilence or something else. Currently I have only one guest blogger who will be posting when I’m on leave.

• Only 1% of my blog traffic will care to read the sponsored article. What if the site traffic ignores the un-sponsored post?

• Who will like to receive Ads in their Inbox? My RSS feed count will definitely decrease.

• I cannot play with my pagerank. Google says that a advertiser should always be linked with a NOFOLLOW attribute but the terms of PayPerPost are strictly against it.

But today almost each blogger wants to earn money by blogging. It can be argued that if the main aim of a blogger is to earn, then he shouldn’t worry about the above listed figures. A blogger will get money, what he requires and then more and more bloggers will be enrolling themselves in Sponsored Post sites like payperpost. Then it will be hard to distinguish between Sponsorsed and Orignal Post in the near future.

P.S. I back listed myself from PayPerPost
