Philip: I haven’t decided yet actually. But your right, I haven’t used them yet, and relly not sure if I’m ever going to do it either.

Did you decide against using them? I haven’t seen you use them on VikingBlogger anyway.

hm, would they not leave your PR if you setup NF tags on the sponsored thingy? I’ve got a PR3; and I don’t want to lose it
I’ve also got some really great SERPS, so if I’m going to lose them, then im not going to do PPP

Oh I know the feeling…Google took my PR and now I do not have enough to get paid at PPP because they want people with PR…it makes no sense whatsoever.

Among all the get paid to blog programs, PPP is the worst. They forced bloggers to insert PPP sponsored badge in their paid review and this may cause bloggers’ pagerank to go down.

Sold your soul? aww you don’t have to be so hard on your self. In fact, I’ve been joining these paid blogging companies lately and I’ve made my own assessment about it here. (pardon me for posting my link)

I don’t like PPP at all, I think it distorts what blogs should be about. I look at blogs to get people’s views, insights etc, not to have them spruik some product to me.

This a personal decision, but Google will penalize your PR for doing PPP. Because the links are not “no follow”.

I initially used PPP when I first began doing sponsored blogging. That was prior to Google slashing PR on blogs doing paid posts.

PPP told everyone not to worry about it, and that the opps wouldn’t drop off. The *very next day* PPP updated everyone’s blog rankings in their system, and suddenly people were having to scramble to make $5 and $7 per entry.

I now work with other companies who pay considerably more than that (as in, sometimes 10x more) for less work and faster approval.

I used PayPerPost when they were quite new. Worked well, but over time the opportunities dropped off. Still, it was a nice earner, paying more than I was getting from any more traditional ads on the site.
