Anyone tried to earn with http://www.reviewme.com/ ? If you have a blog, you write reviews of other sites and you get paid for this.

Not yet but I plan to.
I have one website that could benefit from from a design critiqu and an SEO critique - the SEO link juice could also help!

When I get 'round to stumping up the $500 ill let you know what I think ;)

I will try it out sometime, but I've got to wait for my blog to mature.

50% off is then about $20, right?
I can review your site, then tell me what they did better. Just curious about their quality.

it all depends on how much a review on a site costs

What are necessary blog requirements (PR, content) and how long usualy takes that they check your blog?

I guess that you get reviews which corelate with blog's main topic.

Well, my review is now live.
My overall review of the Review Me site ... only just worth the money at 50% discount!

The Review Me site itself is a great idea and signing up was both easy and exciting. Exciting? Yes! Looking through the site categories to try and choose who you would ask for a review I found very exciting. There are some big names in there, some industry moguls. Some of these guys blogs I read everyday and to think that they would be casting their eyes over my site was very titilating!

My top tip when looking to get a Review is to choose your category and your choosen reviewer carefully. I spent over an hour picking and refining a list of names until I had 2/3 websites that I thought would review my site best. More importantly these potential reviewers I split into three different categories; those who would review my site design, those who would review my site's SEO and those who would review my business idea.

After much deliberation I decided that I didn't want my business idea being put under close scutiny. I like the idea, it makes me some money, that keeps me happy! Similarly SEO. I know about SEO. I know that if I had my site reviewed the usual suspects would be highlighted in terms of improvement; things like incoming links, article sites, press releases, more on page copy etc. I decided I didnt need to pay someone to tell me this.

And so I opted for design review. I was thinking about rejigging things anyway so a review from a designer I thought might spur me on / highlight things I hadnt considered.

My other top tip was that in the Review request I specifically asked certain questions that I wanted answering as well as giving on overview of what the site was, what it was trying to acheive and why I wanted the review.

I paid $125 for the review (this was half the normal price thanks to the trial coupon). The reviewer wrote approximately 200 words about my site and linked directly to the homepage using the sites URL as the anchor text.

The review seemed brief, to me. I must admit that for the money I was expecting a bit more of an indepth review, perhaps pointing out certain criteria that worked/didnt work on certain pages on the site. What I actually got was more of an overview. Yes two or three things where picked out but that was all (based on the specific questions I asked in the Review request).

In Summary, it was just worth the money; just. I keep telling myself that I've now got a PR6 link pointing to my page and that already over a dozen visitors have been sent to the site.
My final words of advice for anyone considering buying a Review are:

Buy a review now that you are only paying half price
Do your due diligence - narrow down your search of potential reviewers
Seek answers to specific questions
If possible, geo-target your Reviewer so that you will get good traffic
Look for a high PageRank and Review/Blog archives - if your review is here today, gone tomorrow your money may be wasted

I can make a review of your site for free and you will tell me then, which one was better , theirs or mine. This is to test my review ability and to evaluate worth of Reviewme's reviews.
