Exactly, it is nonsense that low rated blocks can have such a big proce, I am wondering if they make some reviews with this rating or if it is realy just linkbait.

The price gaming may bring the gamers a little bit of extra traffic, but as we all know that traffic is mostly useless and they surely won’t get any reviews for that price.

So really, there’s not a lot of harm done. Advertisers will still look past all this and find a blog in there price range that is credible. If anything it will make the lower priced blogs (relatively) look like even more of a bargain.

On the other hand I still think they should fix it. Perhaps by only allowing reviews to be increased in price by X amount after X amount of reviews have been purchased at the current review price.

I believe ReviewMe put a stop to this gaming effect. However, I finally got my 1st review! Maybe all this controversy attracted new advertisers?

I should say this has been fixed now. The various sites are now ranked by the no. of stars they have and then the price in descending order. Users can set their own price even now, though

I have seen this quite a bit actually as well with the reviewme gaming. I really wonder how much it actually brings in though. Perhaps reviewme should just ban those sites all together?

Patrick Gavin- I still reached high on the list when I increased my review price to $750, but I am sure no one will order a review from me at that price
