      correction: the 'love' of money, and not all the world revolves around it.

    Ask them to write a review and provide a prize if they do something like a free e-book or something.

    put up a contest... lets say an iPad 2 contest.. here in the contest section itself... the reviews generating maximum traffic according to your statistics (use quality page analysis tool).. without cheating (paid traffic is very easy to spot!... )... and the maximum traffic generated by a single user on the website... within let say 45 days.. takes away the iPad.. make sure you give it... hahah...

    Cool?..
    PS: after writing this i think that why did not apply this method?... well i dun have money for the iPad... maybe you do...

    PPS: instead of iPad 3 prises of equivalent amount can be drawn.... $300, $150, $75... paypal them... just PM me when you put up this contest... if you do... i wanna give this a try...

    Alot of good ideas here.
    I got a little contest on the site right now but its a brand new site with not to many visitors.
    Also it would be nice if people that write reviews on my site (if it happens someday) actually have used the host they write about.

    I would also suggest fiverr, maybe ask for a quantity of reviews

      Incentivize the request:

    Offer something in return for a review. Incentives are always a great way to go. Even if it's not much, people like the idea of getting something.

      Offer them a hug. Everyone loves hugs. It can be like Craigslist, where they come to you for the service. You can meet at the local Walmart or something, and line up multiple clients at the same time to prevent you from doing it multiple times a day. Gas is expensive.

      Offer a membership incentive where they can keep track of reviews per hug. Lonely men (making up the larger part of the internet users) will jump on the opportunity. You can even charge a $15/month membership fee, I don't think it would chase away many for this rare opportunity membership. If you aren't getting good quality reviews, you can offer to play Parcheesy with them online or something, or go on WoW raids with their team. Through this you will build stronger relationships with them in what they really care about, and save you from showering after all of the stranger danger at Walmart. The hugs will moreover be a publicity stunt in the beginning, then be more of a novelty in the aftermath.

      How important are YOUR reviews?

    Use fiverr or some other similar service, or offer a prize on your site.

    Look in the Services Offered area of an IM Forum for writers.

    May be a copy of your product for a review. I generally provide a free copy of my software for a video testimony.
