I love how you describe the Domestic Diva: plucky. There are a lot of plucky writers out there! I’m plucky! Check my blog out sometime! ;)

Thanks so much for the insight. It is a great benefit.

Domestic Diva, Your effort really shows in your blogging. If there were a “stable” feature where we could set up some bloggers to always see our opps or specific ops we would not only use it you would be listed in it.

Breezie, I am not sure about that I will have our contact at PPP lock into it, nothing is perfect but PPP has worked hard to make segmentation as effective as possible.

Linky Love, Yes I like Technorati tags and they do NOT violate the PPP terms of service. They go AFTER the post. Tagging represents more exposure for the advertiser so I think most would really appreciate them. It always gets my attention and higher tacks to boot.

Do advertisers love that we add Technorati tags? I never did so because the PayPerPost rules are strict: no other link inside the post than the links of the advertiser.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for giving me a 5 tack rating! I will be sending you some linky-love in return as a way to express my gratitude.

First Josef, Thank you for the opportunity to work with your Company and we indeed will make the most of it for both parties.

Second VC Dan, We are going to run the campaign on and off through out the month of August. More then 20 but not to many per week. This is to create a more natural link growth. I think it is a HUGE mistake when people do like 200 posts in one week.

Kimber, Actually we ended up giving the guy TWO tacks. The more we read it the worse it looked.

SecondLifeUpdate, We really appreciate that! Unfortunately from our end the only thing we can judge is the post, its structure and things like adding Technorati Tags etc. We would not know you submitted to Digg or any other Social sites from our end. So as a Blogger if you want the best rating pay attention to things like requesting a second link, usually it only takes a few extra seconds to do and when you find the link to give you usually find more info to make a good post with too. Also I recommend every blogger do social site submissions with EVERY post paid or free does not matter. Part of why PPP rocks is you are building your blog when you do paid posts and sort of getting double results from paid posts, you get content, traffic to the post and paid all together. In many ways social site submissions are the best thing a Paid Blogger can do for themselves, so keep it up.

Lucia, we hope advertisers can learn from this as well, I will be doing a post on my company blog more for that audience soon. We have found most advertiser are NOT getting the most out of pay per post because they don’t use it strategically enough.

Joe Vaughn, thank you sir we will be in touch we have some ideas that may be very helpful and would like the opportunity to perhaps do a case study with you on this.

Lisa, it isn’t that bad, the link value is good and that poster won’t blog for this client again.

Cass, we never manage a clients business in our own account. Each has their personal account and we request access. We do this partly for why you stated and partly because many clients want consulting for a time, not forever and we don’t try to lock them in to us. Give good service and they come back for all their needs and appreciate things like making their PayPerPost or Adsense accounts portable.

Yvette, we wrote a very specific opportunity and most of the posters nailed it perfectly. As for reasonable pay, we paid what was fair for what we asked for and bloggers choose to take or not take an opportunity. One thing we do is try to make lower cost opportunites easy to do, keep the word count to like 100, give the posters ideas and make it simple to pound out a very good post in 10 minutes or less. Even at 7-10 bucks a post, 10 minutes to do the post is 40-60 dollars an hour, not bad for a blog post.

Colleen, Everyone starts somewhere, we are just not willing to pay for his on the job training. Hence the ban.

Second Life Update

How many posts did you sponsor? I would recommend 20+ to get enough datapoints for significant campaign analysis.

I’m also curious whether you mentioned in your opp that you would post some analysis of the posts. If not, you might want to in the future. That is a powerful way to encourage quality, while also building a feedback loop that helps everyone.
