ReviewMe takes your Alexa rating, Technorati rating, estimates your subscribers, and mixes in some special sauce (probably PageRank, as Deep Jive Interests points out), and comes up with an out-of-5 rating for you, which determines how much you’re paid and they’re paid. (This is no doubt quite manipulatable, but as long as there’s a little human oversight, they’ll do alright.) yardley.ca is a 3-out-of-5 site, which means advertisers would have to pay ReviewMe $100 for a post here, of which I’d get $50. More popular blogs get more money - 4-star blogs (like TDavid’s) go for $250 / $125, and 5-star blogs go for $500 / $250. ReviewMe’s shelling out $25K to buy itself some reviews and seed the service - hence this post. Of course you’ve got the option to reject any offer - I don’t plan on writing about anything I don’t have any insight into. And you don’t have to write anything positive.

I hope people will lean more towards the quality like yours than most the others I've read. This program will not work if review quality is subpar.
