UPDATE: I think the sponsored review guys just became a bit more cool! Jarrod Hunt had the technorati link added to sponsoredreviews.com’s admin section within 40 mins of finding this post!
Bigups to Andy @ Marketing Pilgrim as well.
I like SponsoredReviews because their support guys are cool. And they are cool because they sorted out a couple of javascript errors I was getting on firefox.
I requested a link to technorati for the blogs on incoming bids page, but thats been some time coming. So I took timendum’s greasemonkey script and modified it to work on sponsoredreviews.com. You can get the script directly from userscripts or click on Install this script
My wishlist for sponsoredreviews incoming bids page:
1. Show Google PR
2. Alexa Rank
3. Technorati Authority and Rank
4. Backlinks in Google /& Yahoo
Please make my job easier and make me lazy
Can Andy@MarketingPilgrim exert any influence ?

I’m sure they’ll stop by and see your post (and this comment). Guys, seems like good features to add.

Vipul,
I like your style.. I’m sorry we couldn’t get this done sooner.
We agree it is a great upgrade, and it is at the top of our list of new features.
So much to do, so little time.

Ok, we have added the link. We were looking to pull the data in through their API but that is going to take longer.

Thats great Jarrod. Many thanks.

Yep, we aim to please
Now if we can get Technorati to improve their API response…which is completely a PITA to work with..
and while were at it, how about releasing a Pagerank API Google?
Pagerank checking scripts are very unreliable these days.

Hi Jarrod,
GooglePR:
This extension actually gets a livePR for google:

and he explains how it works as well:

Technorati API:
Ducksoup by Kailash is a good example for technorati api:

I got it working in 2mins on my local computer. You may have to contact technorati to increase the limit on your api.

I decided to give sponsoredreviews another go, since Jarrod said they have reduced the chances of an error occuring when depositing money. Additionally, when reporting the error, the techical guy who responded to me thanked me for reporting the important bug and assured me it was now patched.
I think i must be the luckiest (or unluckiest which ever way you look at it) in the world, because I got the same error again….TWICE! I should go out and buy a lottery ticket, aye?
I tried depositing $100 and the screen froze (like last time) and the footer jumped to the middle of the page.
I then tried depositing $25 as attempt #2 and got this error:

I hope these transaction haven’t gone thought, yet show up on my bill again.
Very annoying stuff. Back to payperpost I go…
