I looked at the current offerings for PayPerPost.com - I was curious to see what the fuss was about.

According to Andy Beal:

"As Business Week reports, the new service from MindComet’s Ted Murphy, pays bloggers to write about and endorse products in return for payment by advertisers.

Advertisers pay to post details about their "opportunity," specifying, among other things, how they want bloggers to write about, say, a new shoe, if they want photos to be included, and whether they’ll pay only for positive mentions. Bloggers who abide by the rules get paid; heavily trafficked blogs may command premium rates.

PayPerPost bloggers will not be required to disclose they are getting paid for the post."

I would NOT touch most of the opportunities listed (wife swapping, bubble wrap, fast loan action, match.com, etc), a couple I might have done (ie: Spider Man 3, Blogs in Space) but I’m really not into having someone tell me how I have to write (I’m a real blogger). 

Also, the money stinks (5 - 10 bucks per post) - they have to be kidding!    Try 50 dollars a post - then you might get some traction.   At 5-10 bucks per post who is going to be that interested? 

Not me.  First, not for most ads no matter the price - but if there was something I would have commented on anyway and it would be the same message - maybe, maybe 50 bucks.   I don’t know ….I hate to admit I’d even consider it.   Certainly, If I did accept that money I’d disclose it in the blog post.  I just don’t think anyone is going to pay 50 bucks a post ……but I would not consider it - nor do I think anyone else should - for less.

Five bucks is not worth it…..it’s just not.   Let PayPerPost keept their 5 bucks.
