payperpost

I was surfing through PayPerPost.com after reading about how bloggers who make money from the site lost their Google PageRank! I clicked to check out one of the featured members’ blogs, and I laughed at my discovery…

I was sent to a website called texas-sweetie.blogspot.com, a blog written by a pregnant Texan woman trying to make money on her blog by taking on PayPerPost advertising opportunities. Only problem being, most of her blog posts are clearly advertisements that she’s paid to post, so who the hell would want to regularly follow her “writing?” Below is a sample of her daily writing:

… Chemises are mostly on sale now that saves you a couple bucks when you buy one or more. Check out the website.You will find sexy costumes,sexy clothes,plus size lingerie and many more. You can also pick a sexy gift set for her under $25. Go shop now and let the woman you love be feel even more sexier and beautiful…

Wow, I’m now more compelled than ever to buy myself a chemise… but not really!!!

What’s even funnier is, the blog posts on her front page that ARENT advertisements talk about PayPerPost. Observe:

Strange as it is,PPP suddenly got exciting with a lot of opps coming out minutes ago and then quickly got quiet. I don’t understand.They seem to give all the opps at once then if you are slow,you end up grabbing one or two opps.

Luckily,I learned how to be fast so I can have few opps to post. I am just hoping that all of my newly posted entries are gonna get auto approved as it my only way to now that I am doing well in my blogging. Still pretty sleepy here but it’s ok. Me and my baby are gonna be fine because God is taking care of us.Happy Friday morning everyone!

Hah, no way! So you’re basically admitting that the entire purpose of your blog is to make money through PayPerPost opportunities, eh? I’ll give her a little credit for trying so desperately hard to make money for her baby, but seriously – blogs like this represent what PayPerPost is. I’ve seen other blogs who do a way better job at doing “social advertising,” but how is this one woman able to get away with such bad writing?

I guess Michael Arrington and Nick Denton aren’t far off when they say PayPerPost has some serious problems… As a disclosure, I signed up for PayPerPost to see what it was like and how it worked, but never would I accept money to write positively about a company… When companies send me something, they do so full knowing that I might just call their product/service lame.
