Practically Pay Per Post

pay per post Here’s a new company which is practically paying bloggers on a per post basis – PayPerPost.com. Bloggers get as much as $10PHP 587INR 847EUR 10CNY 73 per post they publish on their blogs. All they need to do is login to their campaign, check the opportunities and post an entry about them along with the requirements.

The requirements include one or a combination of the ff:

50 words minimum
requires a link
requires a photo
and a tone

The real giveaway here is the tone requirement. Advertisers may require bloggers to post a positive tone about the product or service. The posts are then reviewed if they meet the requirements before bloggers are credited with the payout.

Bloggers are then paid via Paypal. Bloggers have the option to disclose such arrangements in their blog.

What’s really funny is that the PayPerPost.com website leverages on an article written about them by the Business Week (Polluting The Blogosphere) although the article’s tone wasn’t positive at all.

No such thing as bad publicity, eh?

I’d stick with the tried-and-tested problogging avenues. I wouldn’t want my tone to be influenced.

Unless they give me millions of bucks, perhaps, then I might reconsider. :P

This has been going on for a while, its just that PPP has said it openly. This can mean it is easier/faster to get the word out on something that previously would have taken longer or cost a lot more. But the problem soon may be the inability to trust what you read in blogs – worse than it is now.

Newspapers are powerless to counter it except by sticking to their ethics. They can point to the lower ethics of bloggers, even if only a few, well publicized bloggers are doing it. They all become tarred by the same brush, just as all newspapers are now, when one does something wrong.

Perhaps you can now see why CNN is using the overt but clever tagline “The most trusted name in news”
