Recently there has been a lot of buzz about advertising via. sponsored reviews. I wasn’t sure what all the talk was about, so I decided to research it personally and then publish my findings. There seems to be two minds about sponsored reviews. There are people that love them and people that hate them. Actually, this opinion is hardly surprising.
Let me start at the beginning. Some of you out there may not know what advertising sponsored review area. Sponsored reviews are products that you review on your blog. Companies will give you their products to recommend, and you give them a nice plug on your site. If you love the product it can be quite the symbiotic relationship. The problem comes when you don’t really like what they have to offer. But I’ll talk about that later.
There are many different sites and places to find sponsors that want you to review their products on your blog site. Of course, to get many offers, your site has to already be fairly popular. This can be achieved through other advertising methods. Once you get the sponsors you have to write a post about their product, usually in a positive light. There are a few companies that like honest reviews, but let’s face it, a poor review of a product is hardly going to make people want to run out and buy it. If you are OK with fudging the truth a little for extra cash, then sponsored reviews will present no problem to you.
