Sponsored Reviews hires Bloggers.

Only today morning I subscribed to a Google Alert service on topic 'Paid to blog'.

Just after a few hours, I received an alert from Google from which I came to know about Sponsored Reviews which is like Pay per post and blogitive pays bloggers to make a blog post about their clients' website.

It is no miracle that I keep finding such opportunities because I am guided by the laws of attractions. I have been blogging since 2005 and I have been supported by other such players in the field that include Blogitive.com, Loudlaunch.com, pay per post, Blogsvertise and a few more.

Sponsored Reviews invites bloggers to write paid reviews for products, services, and website on behalf of their clients. Avtually, their corporate clients engage the services of sponsored reviews to promote theier web sites.

I just signed up, activated my email and added my blogs. An unique feature in this process that I notices was that the submitted blog gets a rating based on Technorati, Alexa and the rating is displayed beside the blogs.

Also, based the rating, sponsored reviews suggest a fair price to charge per post and out of which they take away 35%.

Sponsored Reviews enables blog authors to browse advertisers seeking reviews to post in their blogs. This allows us the opportunity to select from the available opportunities that we are comfortable writing about.

A big box of widgets.

Until recently, I did not even knew the meaning of widgets and how one use it in their websites or blogs.

Blog Carnival's widget was the first one I think from which I could deduce the usefulness of widgets(see at the right).

Now I am really fascinated by widgets and here is one widget box that I bookmarked.
Widgetbox is a directory and syndication platform for web widgets for blogs and other web pages. Their widgets work with TypePad, WordPress, Blogger, MySpace as well as most other blogs, sidebars or websites. No plug-ins are needed, and they're free!

Categorised under communications, blogosphere, fun and games, media etc, the widgets listed are fantastic and useful too. Just have a look at this widget that can display a slideshow of Widgetbox's Latest Widgets on your blog. These are the Latest Widgets as shown on the front door of Widgetbox.

I read some of the press releases about widget box and could see they are now very popular in cyber space.

Blog advance for blog exposure.

BlogAdvance is a community built by bloggers for bloggers. So this is more a blog directory; God knows how I am going to find time to visit this directory and find useful blogs to share with you my readers..

However, I always find it a joy to share and I thank God for giving me one more opportunity.

A usual, this blog directory contains all the usual blog sub categories. There are 53 categories that lists 3800 links in all.

First one has to sign up for a free account with blog advance giving therein your blog url also in the sign up process. Then your blog is automatically included in their directory.

I was confused initially. Only after I clicked on the activation link and landed on the log in page, I realized that blog advance is traffic exchange dedicated to bloggers.

But what about the category of my blog that I have registered during signup. Under which category it will be listed in their web directory?

I tried to surf but nothing happened. Tried again, I could just find any blogs to look at! What is this website after all?

It seems they have another blog directory (http://www.blogion.com/). I am not going to waste my time.
