I am wondering how many have tried advertising via Smorty, PayPerPost or some other service that uses bloggers to post about your services. If you have, what were your results? Q...
I used PayPerPost for a few months about a year ago. To be honest, it wasn't bad, and the money was decent for the amount of work I was putting in. I only stopped because I've been working on a larger project lately, but I might return to it again sometime soon. I would not recommned the service for well-established blogs, as you might lose your readers if you're seen as a sell-out. The blogs I was publishing on had very few return visitors. PayPerPost rules do not allow consecutive paid posts, so it actually forced me to write fresh content for these blogs in between the paid posts, which in turn helped drive more traffic to the blogs.
Yes, I am a blogger for several of the services and have also found it is a great source of revenue. I think it such an innovative idea-- I am wondering why more are not using bloggers to advertise their products and services. Q...
