Subscribe Feed (RSS)My Two Cents About Pay Per Post Direct
May 28th, 2007 by Vlad | Filed under Other (Fom Old Blog).No argument can be made against Andy Beard’s review of Pay Per Post Direct. Once more, Andy had proven how diligently, exhausting in details and valuable a review can be written. Even though Andy was not paid for his review, I am sure such a review deserves $130 if not more. If you have not read his review, I definitely recommend to read it now.
Unlike Andy, I am not so optimistic about the new product. After having learned about ReviewMe, SponosredReviews and Pay Per Post, I have listed some of my blogs with these services in hopes to make some money. So far using all these services I have earned $101, out of which only $7.50 was earned from Pay Per Post- which coincidently was earned by reviewing one of Andy’s posts at the time of my sign up with Pay Per Post.
The below button, seen on so many blogs, promised to be an opportunity for extremely viral sign ups:
While the quality of my posts did not trigger any sing ups, I am afraid that there was a link missing for this sign up to be smooth. After clicking the famous button, I was invited to create a new account with Pay Per Post- after that I was completely lost. It took me few days to find out my way within the account and to finally figure out how to proceed on reviewing the post that actually sent me to Pay Per Post. This was the only opportunity I have taken with Pay Per Post so far, in part due to the limited opportunities available in the past. Since that time we had PR undate by Google, and now that my blog ranks at a whooping (sarcasm) PR 4, I see more opportunities available so maybe I will also give Pay Per Post another look.
Going back to the sign up process at Pay Per Post. There seem to be at least one referral in my account resulting from “Get Paid To Review My Post” button. I am afraid that the blogger who was referred to Pay Per Post via my blog, may have given up trying to figure out his way on the website and never actually reviewed the post from my blog that referred him there. I think it would be very beneficial if Pay Per Post would take another look at the sign up process- an make sure that a blogger after signing up via these buttons, would be clearly reminded that in order to continue a blogger must first review the post that referred him to Pay Per Post. I am not sure how this can be accomplished. Maybe a flashing alert after signing into Pay Per Post account will do the trick?
One other downside with Pay Per Post that I see, is that a blogger is not allowed to list a second blog until he takes on and fulfills 10 opportunities. I found ReviewMe and SponsoredReviews to be more lenient when it comes to accepting more than one blog authored by the same person.
In conclusion I have to admit that I am excited about Pay Per Post Direct, mainly due to Andy’s excellent review. And if I were Andy, I would ask at least double the price of what he is willing to do reviews for now.
