As you can see Affiliate Programs and Internet Scams has been accepted by ReviewMe. However I am not here to start charging you $40 for a review (I write them for free!). I am here to talk about their affiliate program.

The fundamental point about their affiliate program is that your blog doesn’t have to be accepted for you to be an affiliate. Personally I never paid much attention to ReviewMe before I was accepted even though I knew I could be making money as an affiliate with them. This was a mistake because back then the program was very young and it would have been easy to snatch up some quick referrals, this is no longer the case!

The Big Negative
Unlike Text Link Ads you only earn if you refer an advertiser (who has to purchase a review) and not publishers.

What’s good?
- You earn $25 per successfully referred advertiser.
- The rock solid brand name. Everyone trusts ReviewMe. The chances are that they are the first place an advertiser goes to buy a sponsored review.
- The attractive badge available to accepted publishers.
- The high entry requirements for publishers mean a higher conversion rate from advertisers. The abundance of popular blogs on ReviewMe makes it hard for an advertiser to say no and try somewhere else.

Conclusion
ReviewMe’s affiliate program isn’t anything special but it definitely isn’t an ‘internet scam’. It hasn’t made it into my recommended affiliate programs section because so many publishers now display their ReviewMe badge, it is difficult to stand out from the crowd and make large numbers of referrals.
