Its been a while since Ive written a sponsored blog post, especially one using Reviewme.com. Over the weekend, I got an email from Reviewme.com letting me know someone had ordered one of those new…well somewhat new Advertorials to be placed on Jonzee.com. I remember when RM announced adding Advertorials, but I didn’t pay much attn to it. My deal with sponsored reviews is I want to stay true to what I would say even if it wasn’t a paid article. For example, I don’t want to go praising a product that I think is crap, and I want it to be fully known that a blog post is sponsored. When I have the options, I can turn down post that I feel aren’t inline with my personal blogging morals. From what I knew about Advertorials, you don’t write the post, you copy what the advertiser has written and you have no control over what it says. So when I got the order this weekend, I looked into it to see how it really works.

What are Advertorials.

We are all familiar with sponsored blog post (this post is not sponsored), a website or company, pays you to write about their product, program, service or what have you. Usually, there aren’t many restrictions as to what you say, other than a minimum word limit, and a few links that they want included in the post. Its simple, you get paid for writing a blog post, and the company gets exposure and links that pretty much last forever once you count the blog post getting indexed by all the search engines.

An Advertorial is pretty much the same, except you don’t write anything. The Advertiser writes the blog post, with any links and pictures they want included. You then just cut and paste the content and publish the post. Easy. I’m not sure if this is the rule, But the in the Advertorial I just accepted, the words "SPONSORED POST" in all caps had to be in the headline. That made it a little better in my mind in doing such a post. Like all the other reviews, you do get a chance to see the content and read the rules of that post before you accept the job. If ou dont like it, decline it and move on. If you can live with it, then make a little money, the bills have to be paid.
