Telecombooksblog has been lived for over a year now. I am glad to see it gradually attracts some peers who are also interested in telecommunication topics. These visiting traffics from peers helps to keep the site a health, stable traffic that make the site attractive enough for my sponsors, who come from Text-Link-Ad. Today, Text-Link-Ad just announced a new service, ReviewMe. It helps blogers like me to keep my blog live by writing review about my sponsors. I believe it?s a win-win idea ? it helps my sponsor to get more exposures in my postings through detailed text reviews, while I get to learn more about particular company or services that related to telecommunication industry. In addition, I can be a sponsor as well. Once I find other telecommunication related blogs in ReviewMe publisher network, I can purchase review from them. It will not only increase my blog PageRank with other peer sites, but also generate more traffic from them. An interesting request from ReviewMe is that I have to disclose the post is a paid review if I accept to write a review for my sponsors. In addition, I have total rights to leave either a positive or negative review about my sponsor, although I am not sure how sponsors would react if I am not favor their products or services. Anyway, ReviewMe is an interesting advertising model worth to try it out.
