I’ve been leaning more towards purchasing my own views directly. I definitely can market myself. I received three direct offers last month, and they paid a lot more than my highest paid post company (Sponsored Reviews.)

I have set goals with VeganMomma and so far I’ve reached everyone. A blogger that would drop random knowledge about SEO stuff was GeekNewsWeek he hasn’t posted in over two weeks. I hope he posts soon I miss reading his thoughts on the subject.

I’m also getting more requests for links from others who have websites similar to my own in some cases their PR is great I’m taking my time to review their sites before I make a decision I’ll link to them if I like their website regardless of their PR. I do that with anyone I add to my blogroll.

I’ll be curious to see how the websites that have done a high amount of paid posts do this time around. I’m talking about posting at least five times per day with virtually nothing besides paid reviews. I’m thinking some of them might see a drop, but I could be wrong it’s just a wild guess. I think they are looking at short-term income as opposed to what they could be making over time.

I made a few changes to my website so it will be interesting to see whether how that affects Vegan Momma more importantly I want to see how my new websites do. They’ve done very well with their Alexa rankings one of my month old sites is a almost at 200k.

I’ve done a lot of work. I’m like a kid with a new toy, testing out all the features, before I really start playing with it.

The blogs in question went from regular blogging to predominantly paid blogging. There were links in every post. Those blogs were also virtual ghost towns went to commenter’s.

My PR went from a five to a four but after research it seemed to point to me changing my blog name that’s the only thing I did differently.

I didn’t care too much about my PR back then I didn’t follow it and I seem to be getting back to that place again, lol. I just want to put good content out there.

I have noticed that I’m receiving more offers from advertisers since my Alexa Ranking has dropped below 100k. I’m averaging at least one offer per day.

And thanks for the e-mail, I will check it immediately. (#):)

I’ve read, from some, that they are cracking down on the paid post, but then again that is speculation?

Have you ever wondered how Google views blogs that point to one business using the same exact keywords? Sometimes it’s 100’s of websites pointing to one business using, often the exact same keywords. How does Google view that? Do they consider it spamming and if so and they decide to punish someone who will it be? The blogger, business, or both? At times I think too much, lol.

These days I’ll rarely accept reviews that force me to do use and excessive amount of links.

Oh by the way I sent you an email.

I’ve been on auto approve, with Pay Per Post, since my 15th review, and I don’t think that is a good idea since a person can dump crap into a post if they are looking to break the rules. Then again that goes back to what is really going on. Is it a review or are they looking for a link? That would explain why a high amount of crap reviews, I’ve seen have been approved. That is another reason I find myself doing less reviews with PPP because of that.

Mike,
I noticed the good opps disappearing almost immediately about four – six weeks ago that was about the same time when PPP did their update. I didn’t really think about a script but since you mentioned it that makes a lot of sense.
