Payu2Blog is fairly easy when it comes to blogger and posting requirements.  Their posts usually only have to be around 60 words, and the sponsor only needs to be mentioned (linked to) once.  The link has to be attached to a keyword the sponsor provides and the keywords are more often than not unobtrusive.  The dashboard is easy to use and they let you keep track of your pay periods and pay history.  Payment is made every two weeks through Paypal.

Blogitive requires anywhere between 100 to 200 word reviews, and a minimum of three links to the sponsors website. After you have written a few quality reviews many advertisers will request your blog specifically.  While there is no marketplace for you to know this Blogitive staff will often email the blogger to let them know the assigned reviews were specifically requested.

Sponsored Reviews is the highest paying of the sites that I write paid reviews for, but that is because there is often a great deal of effort that goes into creating each review.  The advertisers place their requests on the sites marketplace and each reviewer bids for the assignment.  Usually the advertiser rejects or accepts the bid in a matter of days.  The advertiser show’s what they are willing to pay for the review, which can be anywhere from $5.00 to $200.00.  Sponsored Reviews takes a percentage of this payment and sends the rest to the reviewer via Paypal.

The amount each blogger bids is usually determined on their own blogs statistics which include traffic, back links, and overall popularity on the internet.  Sponsored Review suggests what you should charge per review after the sign up process is complete.

When writing for Sponsored Review they request that you give an in depth analysis of the product or site you are reviewing.  All the information and insight must be fresh, you are absolutely not allowed to restate the information that is readily available on the advertiser’s website.  Sponsored Review encourages bloggers to include screen shots of the advertiser’s site.  They also want reviewers to share any relevant information that will encourage readers to visit the advertisers’ site and perhaps purchase their product or service.

That might seem like a lot of work, but once you get going it isn’t that bad.  Be sure that you do take the time to give a detailed review and that you include all information the sponsor has requested.  Failure to do so will lead to Sponsored Review banning you from their site.

Before participating in any paid to blog, or sponsored post, programs you must decide whether or not you want to disclose that the post has been paid for.  Many bloggers refuse to have anything to do with blogs that have sponsored post because they feel that paying for reviews in unethical.  Disclosing that you have been paid for reviews may keep other bloggers from doing link exchanges with you or promoting your blog in the future.

Even if you do not disclose that you are being paid for your post or review there may be consequences.  If you are writing for a paid to blog company that requires you post a tracking code that includes a link to their site, or if you mention their site by name, search engines might penalize you.  Google is one of the most well known search engine that has been accused of doing this.  Many bloggers who have mentioned certain programs, such as Pay Per Post, or who link to paid reviews programs have lost PageRank.

This loss of PageRank can be detrimental to many businesses that use their high page rank as a selling point.  Many companies will not advertise on a site with no PageRank since, traditionally, PageRank represents how much traffic a site gets.  If you do choose to use paid per review programs I recommend only using the ones that do not require disclosure or reciprocal links.

These headlines cover almost any topic or category that one could imagine.  The sites entertainment headlines report the latest movie, television, and music information along with some of the juiciest celebrity gossip.  Finance headlines deal with stocks, banking, real estate, and any other industry that is being affected by finances.  There are also world news headlines and you can also find your own local news. The Voxant Network gets its news from the following sources:

Associated Press
AFP
CBS
NHL
MTV
The Wall Street Journal

These are only a few of the most recognized sources.  The network constantly searches for, and screens, quality content so that you don’t have to.  Now blog owners don’t have to waste time searching through headlines for relevant, researched, news and information.

Once you find headlines that will appeal to your readers or fit in with your existing blog content you can then choose what format you want to post the content in.  You can use the text player but there are also streaming videos and high quality images.  These images are extremely popular on  celebrity and entertainment related sites.

The network then pays you, the blogger, for each page impression that their news content receives.  That means that each and every time a visitor goes to your site and the voxant content is loaded into their browser you are earning money.  The payout varies depending on the content and you are also paid for referrals.  The payout schedule is as follows:

Video Feeds:  $4.00 CPM
Video Story:  $3.00 CPM
Text Story:  $1.00 CPM
Image:  $1.00 CPM

This might not seem like a lot of money at first, but once you factor in your traffic and the fact that you are essentially getting paid to use free content and they are all passive income, the value increases.

These programs are all a great source of revenue paying bloggers anywhere from $5.00 to $500.00 per review.  Those blogs that are established with steady traffic are going to make more money per review than a smaller, new bog.  This is a great money maker for those blog owners who are only hoping to pay for hosting aka break even.  However, you have a great blog and time to post you can make an impressive income with these programs.

What I’m interested is what a blogger will benefit from it:

• Create a profile and tag yourself so advertisers can find and engage you.
• Get paid to write sponsored blog content on a per post basis, or have advertisers pay per day to sponsor your blog.
• Promote yourself, your blog and the individual pieces of content you create.
• Make new friends, discover new blogs and interact with other users.
