We still use the Sonicare and the Harmony One Universal Remote from them, its a great program. I don't mind reviewing certain products, some stuff I just won't try...I suppose if I want free handbags I better start blogging about that instead ;) <strong>Whoa, you got a Harmony One out of the deal?

I'm looking for products to review and test out. I want to get something together for my first ever contest as well. I had no idea about Bzzagent but I'm heading over there right now. Thanks for the mention :) My blog is a PR 3 bringing in 4000+ visitors a month which is pretty good I think. Combine that with the main site attached to the blog and I'm getting 9000+ plus a month total. Great post John exactly what I wanted to know. I'm looking for products to review and test out.

I don't have money to invest in advertising since I have spent so much money on my domain name and hosting and the products that went along with getting the website up (plus my husband runs a business out of the house and, well, let's face it, the economy sucks). Since so many people have a weight loss blog these days, how do I stand out? I participate in several forums and I get regular traffic, sort of... I am working on the social media thing, but that's slow going. Have any more tips? <strong> Content, SEO, Niche participation are what is key.
