    Hey

    I own a blog and I want to increase my monthly revenue. I've been looking about and it seems a paid to post system seems to be a good option. The best i've found seems to be smorty (http://www.smorty.com).

    My questions are:

    Is smorty good, are there nay problems disputes etc?

    Do you recommend any other that pays well. Smorty seems to pay at least $6, so its starts well.

    Thanks

    It pays well but recently it is out of new opportunities and I have been lurking on other sites for my blogspot blog to dig some income.

    For sure I would not want to tarnish my main blog with paid posts because the price to pay will be huge.

    Blackmane - I believe he is referring to Google's recent crackdown on blogs that are using programs such as PayPerPost, etc.

    That and it annoys readers, they know when it's a paid post and unless your established you'll get a negative response.

    I do mean both of what is being mentioned. Unless you are not serious with your blog in terms of traffic or you can write really creative to the extent that no one will recognize it as a paid post, don't write it extensively.

    I get a new offers from smorty everyday. and the range is at minimum $24 per review.
    i don't take the opportunity since i don't think their campaign has something relevant with my blog niche. i don't want to hurt my readers by giving them unuseful posts.
    thanks

    I joined smorty the other day and am currently taking any opportunity's I see. I don't really care about the blog I'm posting on (I don't think anyone looks at it anyway.)

    I completed a few posts yesterday but they are pending approval. Does anyone know how long it takes for the reviews to be approved?

    Smorty is more focus on link building. You need have high page rank for them to pay you higher.
