A visit to Reality Wired Review

Some Background

A few weeks ago ReviewMe released a new version of their advertiser’s and at first it did not give it a whole lot of thought. A few days later I checked into the new marketplace and it still gives 100% control over what reviews that they choose to place onto their blogs but it does give advertisers some additional control over the review opportunities that they offer, their Blog post says it much better though: Continue reading

I know I’ve tried this before but I think I have it this time!
