Many of us write sponsored posts and paid reviews in our blogs. But there is something I have observed about these posts. Very few of such posts get good readership and still fewer get comments from their readers.

* What's your reaction to sponsored posts?
* Do you read them with the same interest as any other article?
* Do you omit reading such articles?
* Do you comment on such posts the same way as on any other posts that interest you??

Share in your views and reactions towards paid posts.

They are not a good thing to do. One a month is okay, as long as it pertains to the topic of the blog. Put too many on, and you'll lose your readership.

I don't like them either and usually skip right over them. Usually they have nothing to do with the blog and are often not thought out too well.

I don't really know. If the person said something that wasn't too "addy" and it was something I can relate to I might comment. Just like anything else though, if I have something to say I'll say it. But most sponsored posts don't seem to be about anything I'd be interested in anyway.
