    We've recently looked at spiffing up your blog to make it link-worthy and about asking for reviews. Now it's time to move on to bribing rewarding your reviewers. Linky-love can be had for free, but it's pretty rude to accept someone's lovin' and not ...

    I recently suggested that putting more of yourself into your blog might open the door to more linky-love reviews. That's not the whole answer, though. Many who have great blogs with good readership still don't get the lovin' they need. If your blog i...

I am on PayPerPost, I know my PR has gone down from 2 to 0 but it's not the end of the world, my traffic did not go down, which is the important thing here, so I am not complaining!
Great blog, full of good traffic advice!
Thanks for the coupon code which allowed me to see what it is really like on the "other side"!
PS. The code is not the reason why I gave you a good rating, this is a genuinely useful blog, don't listen to the whiners, I think they just forgot how much money they earned by doing sponsored posts!

Missy Diaz Said:

Im confused about why you guys are here, there are alot of new bloggers that will see you, and sign up, and get penalized by Google, when they start writing paid reviews.
This is BAD! Im not sure why BC allows this.

Im not against you personally, but fact is, Google has made it clear to all us bloggers, not to do paid reviews.

Things sure do change in a few months. I wrote that I really liked you guys. That was true then. Things change. I am not the happy blogger I once was with PPP. And I think you all know why. Not hard to figure out. Sigh.

the only thing keeping me from giving PayPerPost Blog a 10 is the lack of a BlogCatalog Widget. C'mon guys, show a little love.

PPP is a great idea, however seeing how my blog is more of a personal diary I'm not sure how relevant it is for my needs. Perhaps in a niche dating related reviews market, although I doubt it exists much.

Andy Beard Said:

I catch quite a lot of flack in the blogosphere for supporting Pay Per Post so strongly.

However there are 3 good reasons I support them

1. I find their business model extremely interesting
2. They are highly responsive in comments all over the blogosphere. That is a great example of reputation management
3. Their blog (although it is hosted on Blogger) is one of the hubs of their community, and is a superb example of how a business can highlight the core aspects of their business...
I am not talking about their products or service, but their customers (advertisers) and their marketing channel, the bloggers.
