Smorty.com - Competitor to blog reviews services

Smorty is a new service for bloggers looking to make money reviewing products and services. Smorty is not as popular as the top players in the area, like ReviewMe and PayPerPost, which can be both a good and a bad thing. One of the first things i noticed after signing up is that it took about 5 hours to approve my blog. To compare, PayPerPost has a blog i submitted about a week ago still on the “review” phase.
The couple of days that I’ve signed up for the service i received a total of 4 offers from advertisers, one was to review the service itself, one for an online casino and a couple for reviewing online shopping carts. Apart for the offer to review Smorty, the rest where only loosely related on the subject. (if you count the online casino as “a make money on line” thing, heh)
The number of offers for reviews did surprise me. Four offers in a couple of days is not too bad and if i had a general blog i could have easily make $24 this week with a few 150 word posts, and this is considering this blog hasn’t even received a pagerank update from Google yet. Offers range from $6 for low end blogs and go up to $100 for the top reviews, although expect the top reviews to be grabbed pretty fast after they are posted.
Smorty Pros:
Can be a better choice for smaller bloggers looking to get paid to blog and review products.
Payment once a week
No limit to how many blogs you can use
Fast blog approval
Smorty Cons:
Some irrelevant review offers
Does not have the amount of advertisers the big names have

Smorty is very fast when it comes to approval of blogs, posts and payments. The only downside is that they don’t have as many offers as PayPerPost. The offers are snatched up pretty quickly. A lot of times when I get an email and log in the offers are already gone.

I have to agree on the speed that offers disappear after they are posted. It certainly helps getting better deals if you’re online most of the day.
