Free reciprocal blog review service
Reviewback.com is a servicee where you can arrange free reciprocal blog reviews. I’ve noticied other charging blog review services like Reviewme.com where you pay a fee for your blog to be reviewed (part of which is paid to the reviewer and part retained by Reviewme, or you are paid a fee(part of which is kept by Reviewme), if you review another blog.
I decided to give Reviewback a try and registered my travel blog with them. I received a trade request from a blog about Istanbul, Meeting Continents, which I accepted. I reviewed Meeting Continents and my Europe a la Carte blog was reviewed.
The review exchange benefits both our sites as it introduces our blog to the other blogs readers and gives both our blogs another backlink.
I will use Reviewback for this blog, Business Blog Boost, in the future but I don’t think it’s sensible to ask for a review until your blog has been running for some time, to give the reviewer more material to look at.
I think that Reviewback is a great free service which means that bloggers can browse through other blogs to decide if they would like to request a review. At present there are only 7 blogs on the travel section of the database but I am sure as the service is publicised and grows there will be more bloggers signing up to the service. I suppose that blogs with a high Google pagerank and Technorati rank will still be able to command fees through paid for services as these blogs may feel that they have little to gain by doing reciprocal reviews with low ranking blogs. However blogs starting out and established bloggers who are altruistic enough to want to give other bloggers a hand up the ladder will use Reviewback.
I would recommend that you consider using Reviewback as part of the marketing strategy for your blog.
