My price isn’t much higher than that but my numbers have increased dramatically since I had applied. My Alexa has moved up to about 470,000 and Technorati is right around 24,000 now.

My PR is at 3 so I am not sure what they use for criteria. If they are using it, I really haven’t seen a mention of it but they might have their own internal criteria for approval.

It is not mentioned, but you can do a check on these. Look at those on the lower end of $30-40. Most have ‘horrible’ Technorati & Alexa ranking, yet it did not stop them from making the cut. I thought that ReviewMe criteria were more stringent.

On further look, they were all sites with a minimum PR of 4. Who says ‘PR’ doesn’t count, afterall?

If they do value the PR, they don’t mention it in the page where you can view your site details. The only rankings that they list are Technorati, Alexa and RSS.

I am guessing that they are looking at PR as well. There are some sites that are accepted have ‘horrible’ Alexa and technorati rankings, but they have a moderate to high PR.

Are you referring to ReviewMe? I’m assuming that is who you are asking about. When I initially signed up with them, they assigned a value to your site based on your Alexa rank, Technorati rank and RSS subscribers.

However, they have since changed things around where site owners can determine their own price. FWIW, I have left my price at the value that was originally assigned.

It is important to note that reviewers only receive 50% of the stated price as well. I’ve read that some bigger sites have negotiated to keep more of the fee but the 50/50 split is the default.

Let me know if you have any other questions about it and I will do my best to help out.

How well do they pay? I will look into them as well.
