Okay, here is a question for those of you who do sponsored posts and reviews on your blogs….
I know there is a lot of controversy about the use of sponsored posts/reviews on sites. On one hand, they are a good source of income. On the other hand, they may cause your search engine rank to suffer.
I was wondering if there was any benefit or validity to hosting all paid posts on a separate domain or page? For instance, http://www.thesinglesaverreviews.com? I'm thinking you could introduce the post on the main blog and then have a 'read more' option that would take you to the other site where the full post and links to the paying company would be housed. Does this make sense? Would it be helpful, or would it turn off advertisers?

Advertisers won't agree to this. See they look for visibility and google juice. If you move it to a different domain, they lose the latter.

I agree with Money Cone. They are paying for placement on your site so that they can get a boost in the search engines normally, so starting a new domain would give you no standing with google with which to attract them.
Maybe you can do what was suggested in another thread – schedule the reviews to post 7 days in the past, then they will show up as having been published before your most recent content.

I thought it seemed too easy! :)
I do think if I decide to allow sponsored posts in the future they will be extremely limited. Maybe that will keep the Big G Gods happy.

Sponsored posts don't necessarily hurt your search engine results…only if they are terrible link to the product 27 times.
and MC is right most of the time unless you have a following- 15K, 20K, 30K+ visitors a month they don't actually give a shit about your opinion lol they want you to link to their product ON YOUR SITE.
So you could build up that site and attempt to turn it into pure reviews, kind of a cool idea but don't expect to make a lot up front.

Just to agree with everyone else, yep.
They want links from a high PR domain, they don't care about much else.

If you could build a site and have a good PR then they won't care much for visibility. On the other hand you could have a review site and make it rank well in google. I have seen credit card review sites and such. Even if post it on your site but no follow the links google won't care. But as others mentioned, this again will not get link juice for the advertisors, so they won't go for it.

Maybe you could start the site and then let it grow? That way you could hopefully get PR on the new site and be able to do reviews there.

If the site had a lot of traffic and links then the review site would work.
