Has anyone used this before ? Pay per post in a blog, rather than per sale. http://payperpost.com/

sounds like a good idea but im wondering how much of it would be just blog spam (I admit i havent read through the whole site yet)

I guess the problem is (as a blog owner) that your blog could end up mostly as advertising and you would lose credibility and therefore readers. I don't mind taking on board the odd advertiser and I don't mind promoting products/services that I find useful but I wouldn't be comfortable getting paid to write about sites/products etc.

I imagine the good folks of Google's webspam team might not look too favourably on it. I haven't looked too far into it but I imagine the main problem would be overseeing the whole thing to ensure you got the right quality

I think the original purpose is that it should not look like advertising. But it seems
the merchant only has to pay after the approving of the "quality" of the post, so I guess it can end up that way. Not sure about Google either.

Theres a raging debate about that very site at the moment.
Is it good for the blogosphere?
Is it ethical?
Is it spam?
Is it a just a good idea from a new company?

Take your pick,but I quite like to idea.

I've had a shufty at the forums and im coming around to the idea, it's worth throwing a few hundred $ at just to give it a test i think.
