Payperpost -what is it?

I have recently come accross a website that is similar to blogitive. You can get paid to post reviews or opinions on certain products or services. It is a brand new and is at the beta stage of developement but I think it has great potential. Yes, I do get paid for posting this but I am not obligated to give a postive review. The interesting thing about this payperpost is that it is creating a lot of tension in the blogging world (blogoshpere). Many are outraged by it's exsistance. I honestly don't see what everyone is getting so upset about. The claim that this will cheapen blogging posts and you won't know who is blogging for money or not. This, I just don't understand. For a few years now (at least) affiliate marketing has been growing. Just about any website you go to whether it is one that is unknown or well-known you will find many affiliate links. For those websites to add these affiliate banners and links they had to choose the company that they are affiliated with. They don't just pop up on the site out of no where. I have seen ads like this on many blogs as well, professional and personal. These bloggers had to choose the companies they want to be affiliated with. So tell me, what is the difference between affiliate advertising and payperpost? A pay per post blogger must also choose who they want to be affiliated with. Are people as outraged at affiliate marketing as they are pay per posts? It seems not. Yet, we still have this controversy. People are worried that bloggers will be now motivated by money instead of the desire to have good content. Well, I am sorry to burst anyones bubble but many bloggers out there are already doing this through affiliates and Adsense. The difference is that I can post this review about PayPerPost and be gauranteed pay instead of hoping and wishing that someone will click on my affiliate or google ad. As a small fry in the huge world of the web, I still have to hope and wish. Someone who only gets a few hits here and there is not going to get very much money from affiliates or Adsense. Yet with something like this, the small fry that I am, I can actually make money just posting my opinion. I am not saying that you need to choose between affiliates, adsense and payperpost, but why not incorporate all of them in a way that does not offend the reader with over advertising. Not to say that there aren't alot of great website that offer great things with way too many advertisements. But I will continue to go to those sites because of there content. So I say all this to point out that PayPerPost is a great opportunity for small fries and big ones to get paid for their opinions. But I also have to mention that I just started with this company and have not gotten paid yet. My payment will be issued to me after this post has been here for 30 days. So if you want to know what I really think about this company then check back here in 30 days. http://www.payperpost.com
