Smorty - What i don’t like

Posted by admin On January - 31 - 2008

Smorty is one of the best paid reviews site around, and i have been using it (not much) for a while. But i already have some thoughts that i would like to share with you.

I think Smorty penalises too much, bloggers that for some reason don’t write the review in time, or make some kind of mistake inputting the post address. This happened to me.

In this last couple of months i have been full of work, and i had time for nothing. In one of these days i decided to reserve an opportunity because i had some spare time.  But, the time i had to write the review was needed to someting else, more important, and the next days were also crazy. So the time (3 days) i had to write the review passed, and when i logged in i had a penalization of 250 points from my overall score!

2 days ago, i wrote a review, i wrote the blog domain without the www, which game a message error telling me that this was not my blog address.

Solution? i wrote the blog address with the www.

Consequence of this mistake?

My score went down by 83 points!!!

I sincerely advise Smorty  to consider these kind  of penalizations.  I agree with them, because there’s the need to differentiate bloggers, but with reasonable deduction of points…

Just my 2 cents.

PayperPost and Smorty - Bad neighbours?

Lately, the advertising opportunities available to me on Smorty, require that the blog does not have any Ad or review from payperpost.

As you may know google was on a penalizing spree to bloggers that used services such as text link ads or payperpost. This made a market change.

Text link ads is trying to hide as much as it can from google bot, and payperpost created Real Rank. PayperPost still require a disclosure of some sort, such a badge or a small text selling this post was sponsored by… Smorty advertisers want to keep their google ranks in good grace and don’t want nothing to do with payperpost.

I personally will stick with PayperPost because it is still my favourite Sponsored Reviews Site.
