    Hey DP,

    I have a mystery I want to uncover. Recently two customers came to my service, and asked for an article on the same keyword. One of the customers I have been working with for a long time, and we talk on AIM sometimes. I once asked him why he had a blog full of these sponsored posts by me. I obviously figured that he's getting paid more by someone else to write these. Yeah, so my question is, is there any big type of website where people look for sponsored posts to write on their blog, and get paid?

    Yes there are few sites which pay money for reveiws about site,products or persons. Such sites are Smorty, Reviewme, PayPerPost and others. They pay money from $5 to $200 per reviews depends on your blog. Although I seen many site which have PPP banner and sponsored tag has been penalized by Google and those have PR0 now.

    Please bear in mind that Google will punish those who do paid postings with 'dofollow' tags. You can do paid postings but make sure that you place 'nofollow' tags to indicate that they are sponsored links.

    Punish adv or people who actually buy related links? As far as I know, links can only be discounted and not worth any value.

    They can also remove your own site's PR if you're posting these paid reviews without no-follow.

    Well Jen, there are hundreds of blogs lost their PR which have PPP sponsored code and banner on Blogs. Now those bloggers are jobless since Paid blogging site doesn't allowed PR0 Blogs or less jobs for them..:)
