[...] PayPerPost, in essence, connects advertisers with bloggers who are willing to review their product (positively, of course) for money. Controversy has arisen over PayPerPost’s initial failure to require disclosure of paid postings (shill much?), and it continues as various “A-listers” claim that their new disclosure policy just isn’t enough.

[...] Seed of PayPerPost Hatred When PayPerPost launched, it did not require bloggers to have a disclosure. The purpose of a disclosure is to caution the audience of any unintended bias that might slip through. PayPerPost not requiring a disclosure ignited the fire and earned them condemnations from blogosphere celebs including Mike Arrington and Scoble. [...]

[...] Yes, this is paid blogging hard at work. I thought the disclosure idea was great. I also stated in an earlier post that the naysayers should be quiet now, but they probably would not. Let’s just say I was right. Tech Crunch again has gotten on their high horse, and we are still in the wrong. They asked that we disclose, and we are. I have an entire post of my disclosure policy. I also have a link under Links with my disclosure policy. What more do you want? [...]

Some of them aren’t too bad. Payperpost is requiring disclosure now, which is a good thing. I have been using them for a short time, and if you actually post to your blog often enough, the two posts a day for payperpost (maximum) don’t fill it up with so much muck. Then again most blogs (including myself) are full of muck anyway and are pretty much there for entertainment value only.

[...] This isn’t a perfect fix for PayPerPost - advertisers can still require a positive post about their products, and the disclosure does not have to be within the post itself. The blogger can choose to “prominently” display an accurate disclosure policy on the site in lieu of disclosure within the post itself, although the disclosure policy being recommended by PayPerPost states that paid posts is the same as any advertising on a site. Still, it is a big move in the right direction. [...]

[...] In October when PayPerPost created DisclosurePolicy, Mike stated that he hopes not many bloggers will go along with PayPerPost. I understand his concerns about blogsphere and public trust, but if bloggers don’t just jump to take every opportunity they see, we can still withhold the integrity of blogsphere. [...]

I signed up for Pay Per Post, but by the time my blog site was approved, I just lost interest. It took over a week and by that time I decided to do something different.

Some of the posts that you had to create were really outrageous and would totally trash up your blog site (if you are running a professional one). So, if given the chance to go back, I probably wouldn’t unless someone could really convince me that it pays and pays well.

[...] To my way of looking at things, blogging is self-regulating to a larger extent than the “traditional” media. Blogging was built with commenting from the ground up, and you’ve only got to look at the (justifiable) fuss made over PayPerPost to see that ethics are alive and well in the blogosphere. [...]

[...] मुद्दा शायद यह है कि पैसे के एवज में किये लेखन का स्तर क्या रहेगा और इसमें आपका अपना मत कितना रहेगा। मेरा कहना यह है कि क्या मुख्यधारा के मीडिया पर किसी प्रकाशित लेख के एवज में पैसे नहीं दिये जाते? पारिश्रमिक से लेख की गुणता पर भला क्या प्रभाव पड़ सकता है जब तक कि प्रकाशन संस्थान की टाईम्स आफ इंडिया की भांति हर लेख को एडवर्टोरियल में बदलने की सोची समझी नीति न हो। पैसे दे कर चिट्ठाकारों से समीक्षा लिखवाने की पे पर पोस्ट नामक एक सेवा है जिसमें ब्लॉगर बताये गये उत्पाद की समीक्षा लिखते हैं और पैसे कमाते हैं। इस में नुक्ता यह है कि आप समीक्षित उत्पाद या सेवा की बुराई नहीं कर सकते, अगर निंदा की तो पैसे नहीं मिलेंगे। साथ ही ऐसी समीक्षाओं के साथ कोई घोषणा नहीं की जा सकती थी जिससे कि पाठकों को यह पता चले कि फलां प्रविष्टि दरअसल कोई एडवर्टोरियल है। जाहिर है, इस की भर्त्सना हुई। [...]

Its seems to me that the online advertising schemes that work best have 2 features:

1. They are obviously paid placement (ie Adsense)
2. They are based on an action. (ie Affiliates or CPA, Adsense or CPC)

CPC is open for cheating, and I guess CPA might be for some actions, but paying for a post is too old school media.

It appears to be PayPerPost done the right way, without the hidden agenda and lack of disclosure. ReviewMe seems to be quite cognizant of the blogging community and how transparency is needed when conducting reviews of products in exchange for some form of payment. [...]

[...] I have been gone for so very long courtesy of a 7 day plague that left me in bed suffering through endless daytime TV (is it just me or have things really gone downhill?) but now I am back and so are the Monday media sections. Its time to be honest here though, the Independent’s latest weekly supplement is hardly worth mentioning all, especially in comparison to the Guardian’s consistently modern section. Let us look at what the Indy has decided is important enough to make it this week (warning: its all boring and all soooo 10 years ago): a straght-forward interview with BBC correspondent Ben Brown, the same for Archer’s dame Vanessa Whitburn, a visually boring centerspread on Vogue, more boringness on comic duos that I can hardly even bother to read plus a huge contingent of useless columns that parrot last week’s headlines almost verbatim, Stephen Glover is useless though Claire Beale warrants special mention for her advertising column that, as far as I can tell, is about ‘effectiveness’. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I won’t even link to the stories because they all disappear behind a paywall in about 10 hours. The Indy may have the best front pages this side of the Atlantic but good lord what century are they in? Thank god for the Guardian which is spot on, mixing together well thought new ideas (not old facts), light fluff and a little naughtiness to form the perfect little polenta of a media section. Start with Owen Gibson’s piece on user-generated content which is a little late and a little sparse but is a at least about an modern idea and deserves its place on the front page. Continue on to Richard’s column which, through my slightly less than objective eyes, looks like a well-formed piece filled with ideas to think about and just the right amount of venom to get you churning. Its too bad Emily Bell’s column is so derivative and light, it could have been a masterclass on the meaning of copyright and information protection in the digital arena or even a fun-filled piece about the state of the “free internet” especially with all of the Netscape controversy and Edelman/Wal-Mart and PayPerPost and so much else. Instead it was a fluffed out last minute piece of malarky that mentions Lawrence Lessig and his Creative Commons License and then sits back contentedly as if the world’s problems are solved. [...]
