SponsoredReview.com - great place to advertise (maybe earn too)
Since I have launched the new version of my color picker tool, as you already know I have been promoting it a lot. Through free backlinks on this blog, as well as through paid reviews at places like SponsoredReview.com and ReviewMe.com
Today I want to talk about SponsoredReview from the advertisers point of view and tell you some of the advantages of SR. First of all, in SR you are given total freedom in setting your own price for the 
review. So you set the prices and bloggers bid for it. I have set the price for my product review from $5 - $10. So I received more than 70 bids in 24 hours, that’s a lot of bids in such a short time. Most of the bids were at $10, and some were at $5 (few people bid $6, $7, $8 or $9). It seems that majority of the people either bid minimum or maximum.
I was quite selective of the blogs, therefore I ended up rejecting most of them. Because some blogs were good but not targeted to my product (or should I say my product was not suitable for its readers). And yet some blogs were just born yesterday, and they decided to make money straight away.
The Catch
I have noticed that, some of the blogs who bid for my product review had high PRs, lots of readers (RSS subscribers) and many MyBlogLog subscribers. These blogs were an excellent choice! Checking out these blogs before accepting, I noticed that the same blogs were charging up to $150 per review. They were displaying the ReviewMe badges proudly. And here I am having the opportunity to get my product reviewed by these same bloggers for just $10.
So if you want to promote your blog or product, don’t rush to get direct reviews from bloggers. Instead, post your product at SponsoredReview.com. This way you could save a lot more money (instead of getting one review for $150, you could get 15 reviews for the same amount at SR). The more you save, the more you can advertise.
Try setting different prices for your product review and experiment, I am sure higher price will attract more bloggers and most probably attract better blogs. But if you can keep the cost down and still get decent blog reviews, then that’s the best option. I hope it was useful.

Are you allowed to join multiple paid posting sites? Can you join SponseredReviews and PayPerPost at the same time?

Funny, today I registered has a blogger on SR. I’m actually on ReviewMe and did 1 review($5 for trial run) and ask for 10 reviews for my own product. I was not able to chose who would do the review because it was an open campaign(my choice). I will make a post on that later this week.
SR seem ideal from what you say but your still had to filter each offer(70). This took some time on your part.
I hope it pays for you by bringing traffic, at least from the higher PR blogs and more importantly sales :)

Johnny Cash: I don’t see why not but SR want your blog to have a ratio of 3 unpaid post for each paid review. I did not see something about it on ReviewME.
I don’t know about PayPerPost.

i never thought of this

I believe SR is the only one with 3:1 ratio on non-commercial and commercial post. The rest only required a blog to be up for few months.
glad I found your blog.
