Something I have been noticing more and more is that advertisers on most paid to blog companies are requiring that you don’t have any links, post or even mention Pay per post, IZEA and so on. I find this funny as they seem to think they they will be harmed in some way. The only thing so far that I have seen is that bloggers have been smacked by google, not the advertisers.
What I find funny is this. I have a blog that has pr, but has been banned by advertisers because I do work for Pay Per Post. This blog was Google smacked at one point, but here is the thing. I didn’t change what I did, I kept doing paid post and really in my opinion Google can bite me as Pay Per Post and Izea have made me more money then Google ever will. Anyway back to my point.
Many bloggers use different companies and personally I think that the paid to blog companies that allow an advertiser to put this requirement in their advertisement are really making themselves look bad. I am probably not going to be using the company that allowed my blog to be banned anymore as I really am unimpressed with them anyway. I think in the past year I have done 6 jobs for them but with pay per post I have done over 200.
These are some of the decisions you have to make as a blogger. For me Pay Per Post is the main way I make money. I’m not going to drop them to make less and the sooner these advertisers see that the better off they will be as there are some very good bloggers they are missing out on because they are scared of google.
