This is what Pay-Per-Post should have been in its first iteration. There’s nothing truly novel, special, or “ground-breaking” in SocialSpark. All of these new features should’ve made v1. They do get a point for a neat web 2.0-ey name, though.

I think people have a right to earn an extra income by doing paid posting. What does it really pollute? People can always click away as they have always done unless it’s of interest to them. If it’s just an out an out ad fest from start to finish then I would agree, no one likes all potatoes and no meat unless your a vegetarian.

Social Spark is much better than its predecessor. It has in post disclosure, no-follow links (if advertiser requires it), banner ads etc. Its a well thought out system and I am sure will please all the advertisers and search engines as well.

I’m looking forward to it. Really, I wish you would just quit trying to find the negative all the time. I mean come on, there are MUCH more important things to worry about in life than crapping all over paid to blog companies.

PayPerPost’s Latest Gimmick…

i would and will use PPP once my site is ready to launch BUT i will require 2 important things from bloggers

1- be 100% neutral, i want you opinion even if its negative.
2- you MUST state in the blog that:
A- I paid for a neutral review.
B- I requested that you state it in your blog.

is that still wrong?

I have seen advertisers ask for essentially these criteria through PPP, although the ‘neutral’ tone category in PPP is perceived by most bloggers to include constructive criticism but not truly negative commentary.

TechCrunch does not like IZEA new SocialSpark…

Tech Crunch blog does not really like new idea from Pay Per Post now under the new mother company called IZEA. PPP will launch a social network called SocialSpark.

It would be wonderful to know if this hatred you have for them is really real.
There is information to be shared, but fear of repercussions is huge.

almost everything one reads in the newspapers is paid for via p.r. firms. so, perhaps this cuts out the middleman?

I have a blog that gets ok traffic 100k+, but I would like to add some other advertising other than adsense ads. Not nessecerily in post, but more like blog sponsors, exactly like how tech crunch does it. The problem is it’s hard to orchestrate that contact between me and advertisers. Does this new featured from PPP help that.

frankly yelp is much worst than ppt. there is no disclosure from the shills on that site that they work for the company. at least on ppt there is some disclosure, on yelp there is pure deceit.

I agree it’s time for TechCrunch to shut up about PayPerPot. Mashable.com is way better then TechCrunch these days…TechCrunch needs to really get it’s stuff together I’m tired of the boring post here and the monthly bitch fest against PayPerPost. Every time you post something about PPP you just give them more traffic and more bloggers sign up.
