PayPerPost (one way you can grow blog traffic) is at again, this time promising some big news that will be released in the next few weeks. The question is: What could it be? A new mind control device? The answer to cold fusion? Perhaps a new race of super beings that are the next step in human evolution? Who knows, however I do have my own theory which I shall now subject you too: I think they are expanding their network. This is a little vague, but I think they could do it in one of the following ways:

I wrote an earlier post about the new program I’m trying, PayPerPost (a blog marketing network), and they’ve just released a new feature which I think is pretty interesting. Basically, I can add a link at the end of any of my posts (sponsored and non-sponsored) that allows someone to review my post via PayPerPost. Once this person signs up, they get an immediate opportunity that allows them to review my post on their site and then they earn a commission. I earn the same commission once their post gets approved. I find this system particularly interesting because it means that you don’t necessarily have to take commission in order to make money via PayPerPost. Also, it builds links to your site which is a nice bonus feature.

You may have noticed that some of my posts lately have had “This is a sponsored post” at the end of them. This is because I’m trying out a new system called PayPerPost, a company that specializes in blog marketing. At PayPerPost, advertisers pay bloggers to write about a certain topic. However, the bloggers have complete control over whether or not they want to take on a commission from an advertiser, and full disclosure is required by PayPerPost on these posts (In my case, “This is a sponsored post.”). The commissions are pretty good, as they only charge a small service fee compared to other similar sites. In fact, if you have a high traffic blog you can earn some serious commissions (I’ve seen some for $50 or more, up to a $1,000). Even if you don’t have a high traffic site, you can still earn some nice commissions.

I like this system because it allows me to keep the integrity of my site intact. For example, some advertisers specify that they want a positive review. Personally, I don’t agree with that so I only take commissions where I can be completely objective about the subject matter and I always check out the site first before I write about it. This has worked out well for me. Also, it has allowed me to remove the Google ads from the individual posts, which is a nice bonus.

Overall, it’s working out great for me, I’ll keep you posted as time goes on.
