Paid Reviews on Blogs

Others just want to get the client's name out there and pay for honest reviews that can be either positive or negative.

PayPerPost

This is one of the best-known paid review sites because of the vast number of opportnities that come through the site. PayPerPost requires that bloggers disclose paid posts.

Any online reviews should be written in the general Web writing format. This will make the reviews easier to read and serve the attention span of most readers.
