Google to Offer Paid Reviews ?

Interesting rumor about Google possibly offering Paid Reviews. With Googel dominating the online advertising market I’m sure they are constantly looking for ways to expand their revenue by going into different avenues.

Some points on why Google would do this:

    • Publishers - Google already has a amazingly huge database of publishers.
    • Advertisers - Nobody has no online advertisers then Google AND now they they have taped into the news, magazine and radio network they have access to tap even more advertisers on the shoulder to pay for reviews of their service.
    • Blogger - Googel already owns the biggest blog network in the world and they seem to already have a relationship with wordpress for easy implementation of Googel AdSense on wordpress.com (that would make sense anyway).
    • Metrics - Between Google toolbar, Adsense, and Pagerank data Google has by far the best metrics to price a site for a review. They already use these metrics for Adwords in selling contextual ads and links.
    • Googel has pretty much destroyed ReviewMe and PayPerPost (the competition) and launching there own seems like it would solve all of their problems. The big issues Googel had with paid reviews was the linking issue and now they can control all of that PLUS get a chunk of the revenue.

So what do you guys think will it happen ? And if so, what does this do to ReviewMe (probably kill them) ?
