I personally dont want 100% reviews but im sure there are advertisers who do. I think that constructive criticism is very healthy. For example, Davids review of this blog highlighted the need for me to stop cutting off articles in the newsfeed. thanks for dropping by JoLynn.

First off, you are not doing the site owner any favors by giving only positives when they could improve their site based on the negatives. Additionally, if you are a reviewer who only gives out positive reviews, I actually would not want you to review my site. I want to learn how I can improve, and if there are 10 or even 100 things that I'm doing wrong, then please tell me! ;) Your other question re: should you only accept sites to review that you know you will give positives only on...this defeats the entire purpose of the review. Why do these sites even need a review if they are in such great shape? Just for their own exposure? These are my thoughts, hope they help! BTW, I found you through David at Pureblogging. :) All the best, JoLynn I think that if you are going to be reviewing sites that it is only ethical that you are honest.

I named my post that because that is the title of the blog i was referring to however my post we reffering more to the integrity of sites, specifically reviewme. I am hoping to user Reviewme and sites like that hopefully in the future. What i was trying to say is that if bloggers always give positive reviews to advertisers, will their readers lose trust in their ability to give a balanced review about something i do agree with what you said however as i said, that wasnt my point here :):) Hi Leroy,

Blogging is not some sort of holy medium that some people believe that it is. It is merely a new ( newish? ) method of publishing information online. Some will go ad-free, but most are taking advantage of the opportunity to earn a bit of income from it. Blogging is hard work, after all. It's absolutely not wrong in any way to blog for money.
