Darren,

I think I need your help here. I have tried with multiple websites which are pay-per-post types. But i have not been able to come across a single one, which pays to bloggers outside US also.

I would just love to write!! But am not able to find any such websites. Help!!

It’s funny. I think that this post was set up towards proving a point about how it’s not such a great idea anymore. But, according to the poll results, it seems like they were never very popular at all =)

I have to say I have an informational website which has been operating for about 6 months now, plus I have just launched a blog that I hope will cover all of the topics that I just can’t discuss on my main site. So I am completely new to blogging, but I just can’t see myself ever doing this in the future. I guess I’ve been well and truly scared by the big G as to what to do and what not to do. I’m just not willing to risk all of my hard work that I hope will serve me for years to come by selling links and posts, especially considering I’m still not fully educated as to how all these things work.

I have never done one, but that doesn’t mean I would rule it out if someone asked.

I don’t think it is wrong as long as you write the review honestly. I mean if it is something you honestly like and can get behind, why not take a little pocket change for your trouble? As long as it is a win – win situation, I don’t think it should matter.

Paid posts always seem to leave a bad taste in my mouth. But that’s just me. I think as long as a blogger is up front about it and discloses it to his/her readers, then it’s probably okay.

Personally though, I like to write posts about stuff I’m passionate about, to share that passion with my readers. Paid posts take away from that I think.

I do them from time to time as long as they have some relevance to my blogs, so I don’t accept everything. I am getting quite good now at weaving in some useful content around the prescribed anchor text. I know it troubles the conscience of many people, but as long you are not giving false positive reviews and you are reasonably choosy about what to accept I don’t see it as a problem.

I too would find these results interesting. I shall keep reading!

I’ve been blogging for a few years now, but it’s only recently that I have decided to moneytize my blog.

I’d also be interesed to know if paid articles has an effect on the credibility of the blog/author. Any input, guys?

It doesn’t feel right. I don’t want to compromise my integrity or relationships by encouraging my readers to buy something I don’t genuinely support.

32 out of 622 on May 28th doesn’t look like many people are taking advantage of this or don’t want to.

Does Google punish you to have pay-per-post articles in your blog ???

I do them when there is advertiser look for me. Between, all my paid posts are with no-follow links as per discussion earlier. I don’t wanna lose my Pagerank, so they have to agree my requirement before they want to buy a review. :)

Paid posts are something that most of the bloggers, just starting out adopt as a means of earning some quick money. This is because it is easy and the requirements of paid posts are not too difficult to fulfill. In addition to this there is content being added to your blog. But the problem arises when the number of paid posts become so huge that it starts to become obvious. Hence it is important to ensure that you are not filling up your blog with too much paid content.

Hi,
I learn from some sites saying that doing paid posts will reduce PR of our blog.

Never, but I write several paid posts for other blogs every week which is a nice earner.
