The result: PPP’s Consumer Generated Advertising revolution is growing faster than ever — signups by 11am today are already 2X our largest day ever….

P.S. I was not aware of the controversies about PPP and people seems to judge them on past issues. You adapt or die and I guest they adapted to criticisms.

For those that have not come across them yet, Pay Per Post is a company that helps companies get their products and sites noticed, and improve their search engine rankings. They act as the middleman to enable companies to advertise on blogs by keeping …

I personally see no issues with the “ethics” part of being paid to blog about something – but that is not the business PPP or its posties are in.

PPP facilitates the buying and selling of text links – that is their business. Ted came up with a really smart way of doing it – turn a bunch of stay-at-home moms and struggling students (or whoever) into spammers @ $10 a pop and keep a portion.

Can/will they make money?…sure they will – in the short term.

Will the major SE’s work hard to kill any link coming from these spammers?…of course – I would bet money that they are working on it right now.

– would it be a stretch to say / The founders no longer have a majority share?

PayPerPost es un red de contactos entre empresas y bloggers, que permite que las empresas busquen escritores de blogs para promocionar sus compañías, productos o servicios y en los que los bloggers serán los encargado de escribir artículos patrocin…

Michael Arrington of Tech Crunch’s reported that PayPerPost recently raised an additional $7 million in capital. This would presumably be a positive turn of events for Pay Per Post.
However, some comments following that post seem to predict a …

All of the sudden PPP advertisers are not getting any link juice for their dollars spent with the posties and the blogger carnivals that are skewing PPP blogger’s traffic numbers don’t really generate any quality traffic for their ad dollars so why spend anymore money with PPP?

I am not surprised PPP took an up round because Ted Murphy must have lots of ad industry connections that are willing to try PPP and I’m sure they have seen some decent results thus far so client retention and revenue has been good. On the other hand, Matt Cutts has spelled out Google’s intentions on the paid link front quite plainly and I think it is safe to say that the results current PPP advertisers are witnessing are at risk in the near future and this in turn places the whole PPP model at risk.

My prediction — Matt Cutts and Google will eat PPP’s lunch and take back any ad dollars that Ted and Co., are just starting to get excited about. In Google’s mind it’s a win-win. PPP exists to game the search engines and creates spammy results AND it also takes away revenue (however miniscule that amount is compared to the whole pie). Either way it’s a no-brainer for them from a quality and business perspective.

However, this is not the first time VCs have gone where angels fear to tread. Good luck to PPP in your cat and mouse game with Google. Guess who the mouse is?

You do realize though that titles aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, right?

My blog is pretty low key and has relatively low traffic, however I still had over 5000 visits in May alone; 2100+ uniques. That’s nothing compared to Kat, but it’s certainly more than 3 people.

It’s like, Mike writes yet another negative post about PPP and Ted picks up the postie phone

Imagine for one parent (or two) to stay home with the kids and still earn a living off sharing information they enjoy. It’s awesome.

What I was suggesting is that (from the reports/emails) is that a large percentage of their posties have low traffic. If it came across incorrectly, i apologize. And actually both of my sentences in comment #1 are indep. of each other.

And #31 Sindy to answer your question on your blog – so far all I have dealt with and seen in coverage of PPP is the majority of mommy bloggers…the people who came over to CN when I spoke about PPP, the people here, etc. So why is it evil for me to say that what I see is mommy bloggers?

As Kat pointed out, a mommy blogger can have a great deal of traffic. And as Trish states, the demographic makeup of PayPerPost doesn’t line up with your statement.

Hopefully more people will get their facts straight and ditch the condescending perception of moms who are also bloggers. If you want to make a point about low traffic blogs, call them what they are, ditch the stereotyping.

Allen: If I follow your logic then all PPP type sites should follow that path: advertorial only or is it just PPP? I’m advertiser/blogger and would find the feedback interesting because the comments also give some free feedbacks.

Mike: Until investors don’t see a return soon and that depend on what “soon” means for them.

And yes, at some point SMART investors know when to get out. But the Genius investors? They are the one’s that know to stay in “just long enough”.
