    Is that for one blog alone or for the three blogs that you have?

    Shreyash - Did you get an email to tell you it was rejected? Normally you dont hear at all from them if you are rejected..

    I think that you need to have your own hosted blog rather than blogspot.

    Also something key is that your blog is generic enough to write about anything. You've got to ask yourself if you could write about baldness cures on a gaming site?? :0)

    Your English needs to be excellent also.

    Baumann is right , Ive had blogs declined because not indexed.. But generally when you get over 100 pages indexed , re- apply and you should be ok!

    I may give this another try now that I've moved my blog to WordPress and it's cleaner. Here's some advice for ya....advertisers do not like dark themes. I guess this is no revelation, but my them was fun dark and it still didn't matter. I got a lot of rejections at Entrecard as well.

    I signed up and got accepted for Blogging ads today too and they have the following as an example of a great blog post with an ad built in.

    This is exactly the method I use myself.

    Waxing.. Cant understand why they dont like the color :) After all its relevant back links they are after...
    I like your own reviews , they are the sponsored reviews type where a complete review inc images etc is required and Ive only done one of those for sponsored reviews.com but earned me $55 for one post :)

    I would probably better of posting this on another thread so you guys see it :)

    But the Trick with getting into services like Payu2blog or Smorty is:

    Not too many Paid Posts ( obvious ones..)
    You're own unique content , rather than sites with RSS feed data
    PR 2+ site ( The higher the PR , the likely hood is the more pages indexed if it hadnt been dropped...)
    If you buy a dropped domain with a higher PR ... Allow 60 days from when you post the first page of content ( nearly 2 mths)
    Have your own domain , not blogspot or wordpress... ( some allow these though..) but better to host yourself...

    Any other tips from anyone?

    I just signed up and reg'd for both - both my blogs/sites are PR3 and PR2 and updated daily and semi-weekly; hopefully I'll get approved to make some extra cash on the side.

    Remember again Guys and Gals..

    Your blog needs to be generic enough or that you must be prepared to write about anything!

    Do you get paid more for having a higher PR blog?

    or is it a basic rate irrelevant if PR?

    Hi ArticleD..

    What I have seen is that with Payu2blog. Your blog with the Higher PR will get more Posts assigned and also from time to time posts which pay more than the basic ( $5 per post)

    With Smorty - I had a PR4 Blog and for one particular post I was paid $25. Most on Smorty are $6+ . Some $10 per post.

    So to answer your question.. You'll get assigned posts with more of a payout and generally get more posts assigned to the higher PR blog.

    Best of Luck!

    A stupid friend of mine makes about $2000 a month using these review sites. The highest earner is PayPerPost.

    Yep , you can make big money using PayPerPost but have never had a blog approved with them.
    Im not serious enough of a blogger but make a steady stream with a number of blogs on these services :)
