Page Rank and Paid Reviews

Posted By: JMom  //  Category: Computer/Technology, Web Finds

I have jumped on the sponsored posts/reviews bandwagon this year and have gotten fair compensation from it. That is one reason I am growing this domain, is so I can continue to earn some revenue from blogging by doing sponsored posts.

One of the requirements to do paid reviews or sponsored posts is to have a well established blog with an audience that will read all the reviews that you will be paid for writing. That means your site has to be indexed and ranked.

I just read this article though that seems to imply that you could be penalized for writing paid reviews. Sure enough, when I started checking my page ranks, I noticed a drop in two of my blogs! And one of those blogs is my most popular one, the food blog. Now a lot of the SEO goobly is way over my head, but I just don’t understand how my ranking suddenly dropped.

Shelfari

I love reading! Do you? Want to show off what’s on your bookshelf? Then join me and thousands who are also passionate about books on Shelfari. It’s like MySpace or Facebook but for book lovers :)

 I have my Shelfari Shelf displayed on the sidebar of this blog if you want to see what’s on my book shelf. I haven’t had a chance to list all the books on my actual book shelf, but I’ll get around to it. I just added the Stephenie Meyers series which I just finished reading. OMG, I’ll have to write about those books in a separate post.

So if you like Shelfari and plan on signing up, don’t forget to add me to your friends list.
