Court laid the smack down on PayPerPost! I haven't seen him attack a company directly before and his reasons for not liking Realrank seem to make a lot of sense. The post talks about how the real issue here is paid links, and not the ranking system itself.

Court says that Google probably won't stop cracking down on paid links and shows h

What more than 85,000 bloggers love best is to get paid to blog. These are the number of Posties (that's what they are called) who have signed up with PayPerPost (PPP) and I'm sure most of them are enjoying getting paid when they write reviews about products and services in the PPP marketplace.

Some of the top earners are making from $10

Google's at it again! Watch in real time as bloggers who dared make money from something not AdSense are feeling yet another sting from Google's heavy hand.

The PR subject has been beaten to death for nearly two months. Why am I offering more related informat

Some time ago, perhaps even before all the hubbub about Pagerank and definitely before the recent news of Google stripping PR from PayPerPost bloggers, I had signed up for the PayPerPost blog network. Obviously, since I had not met the minimum criteria at the time, my blog wasn't approved.

I didn't think much of it, really. When I heard

A couple of weeks ago, Darren Rowse of problogger.net wrote an article about how PayPerPost is changing it’s name to Izea and it got me thinking about trying out PayPerPost.

I had thought about trying it out before, but with a PR 0, I knew I didn’t stand a chance. Now that I have a PR4, I thought I would look into it a little more and let

In a couple of weeks, PayPerPost will be offering advertisers the option to purchase reviews with the “nofollow” tag. A quote from their blog:

"By weeks end we will roll out a new No-follo

I still see a lot of problems and I hope I get some answers to my

I just join Payperpost and have been approved after a little struggle. This blog was rejected by PPP because of the absence of Archive widget on Sidebar. The reason I don’t use Archive I simply don’t really like it because it make the sidebar really loooong down and take much space. I’d prefer the category sidebar, it’s easier! But I have no
