ReviewMe follow-up

This post is unpaid but since I wrote about ReviewMe the other day I wanted to see if their buzz-building idea worked. According to Technorati, there are 702 results for the phrase [reviewme] from blogs of all types and in all different levels of the blogosphere. 84 of those mentions come from sites with “a lot of authority”.

The ReviewMe service may be a short-cut to becoming an authority site, especially since you can cherry-pick the blogs you want to write about you. It may also be an alternative to purchasing links individually, especially since you get a full post write-up (minimum 200 words) about whatever it is you want reviewed which is often more valuable than a single mention and there aren’t any renewal fees. For a flat $30-$250 per post that isn’t too bad IMO.
Another sneaky use for ReviewMe may be creating an artificial “Internet Phenomenon” to escape the sandbox faster in Google.
