Paid Blog Reviews That Don't Discriminate Against Low Google PR

Kamila has found herself being penalised for having a Google PR of '0' by both Blog Reviews and Pay Per Post, that is bar the $1 and sub $1 offers which Kamila refuse to entertain on principle of being manipulated. There are no earning now forthcoming form this kind of venture and her earning are no solely from Adgitize, CMF, Project Wonderful and Google Adsense. Apart from Adgitize who wins by a mile in payout and traffic, (see Kamila’s last post), the rest just pay nominal especially is you pay for additional ads in return which Kamila does.

There are for course the Kamila competition entries, but this is not for money, but for back links, prizes that she has no control over and of course a great deal of luck which she cant’ rely on. This now leads to a question from Kamila to other fellow bloggers. This question is:

Does anyone know of companies that pay for blog reviews from a blogspot sub domain blogger that doesn’t take Google PR into account?

I’m sure there are literally hundreds of others who would like to know. Kamila understands that if there are bloggers who use such a pay review system they might want to dissuade other members to sign up that would increase competition. But then there might be a referral reward in place, if so Kamila would of course quote the referrer in every case.

“Thanks for your help in advance,” says Kamila

Kamila Sandboxed By Google

Kamila today found out that Google have been quite unfair with now making her PR0 from her recent PR2. Technically it is called being sandboxed Kamila thinks. She can only assume that this was from doing a couple of Pay Per Post blogs and nothing else. This mean that more Pay Per Post jobs are going to be like gold dust and pay even less with her PR value at zero!

Not good news, but Kamila is upbeat at least her Alexa rank is well under 200k and improving.

On another front, there is 100,000 EC credits plus $20 (from a kind donor) for anyone who wants to sell a digital camera. Kamila wants to take more pictures of herself for her website and the current camera’s lens is flawed. If anyone is interested please go to the Entrecard Forum and look up 'Physical Goods' where further details can be found.

A short blog today from Kamila who has to now try and look for a new source of income. How ironic that yesterday’s post was about looking for other sources of income from blogging.

When Reserved Means Not Reserved With PayPer Post

Kamila got her first assignment on PayPerPost yesterday, no not the previous post to this, but another one that isn’t published. Why wasn’t it published? Well the little story begins.

Kamila was all excited, an assignment that was worth a measly $1.75, but nearly twice as much at the insulting $1 jobs that she just refuses to touch. It was a quick trip to the sink (oasis) to get a drink of water and then settled herself down to write about twitching eyes. That was what the post was to be about. My goodness she was keen. Then thought that this fee she was to get would buy three days worth of bread for the Bulgarian family that looks after her. She will be earning here keep there at last.

35 minutes later and two spell checks to be sure, she had finished the post. It wasn’t difficult she enjoyed the work and added a picture to enhance the advertisement. It was ready for publishing and went forward with it.

Kamila went back to Pay Per Post to register the job had been done giving the details of the post and her heart dropped. There was a message saying that she hadn’t reserved the post! But she did, it was there, she put the answer the simple question to reserve the post and it was confirmed.

Has this happened to anyone else before? Kamila asks. She felt quite demoralised after that and it was a good job another post assignment came up a few hours later and worth much more than the $1.75 she didn’t earn. What does she do with the post now?

“Life is full of ups and downs!” says Kamila

Goods News For Kamila - Persistence Paid

Some good news today for Kamila as she opens her emails as she normally does. There was a message from PayPerPost saying that Kamila’s blog is now accepted and she can now write sponsored posts.

Well it just proves that persistence pays. Kamila had applied a couple of months before and not accepted, so she got her act together and started writing posts more often and applied again last month. She was refused again due to only have one post on the home page. This was adjusted and she reapplied yet again and today was a result.

Kamila just hope now that she get some work. Nothing more that $1 commissions today she won’t be diddled with these, so she’ll look for jobs again tomorrow. That digital camera replacing the one that came with the Ark looks a step nearer now.

This is a lesson many could learn from – If you get rejected, NEVER GIVE UP!

“Rock On Ya All!” says Kamila.

$1 For A Paid Review - Don't Expect Quality Posts

Away from camel milk chocolate today, there seems to be even more paid ads for just $1 on Pay Per Post and many remain untouched for good reason. Kamila wonders whether the bloggers who do take up these $1 jobs give the advertiser a poor post. Would it be a natural tendency from bloggers to not put much effort in for a sponsored post that insults with such low pay? Surely poor ads would have a negative affect of the service or product so trying to get cut priced ads perhaps isn’t cost effective at all.

Kamila is quite sure that paid a decent rate for writing up a review she would willingly do the best job that she could with that post. Many others must surely be of the same opinion.

Kamila finds that the subject of paid post comes to the forefront again. Pay Per Post nearly accepted her blog, but at the time she only had one post showing on the home page; Pay Per Post wanted multiple posts. So Kamila tweaked it to their requirement and resubmitted. Hoofs crossed, this time she may squeeze in. The waiting game resumes for Kamila.

Ending with a question from Kamila. “Does anyone have any idea when this recession is over?”

What Is The Optimum Length Of Posts? - Easy Really

There is a question that entered Kamila's head after Daisy The Curly Cat commented on her last post about how to keep bloggers on your site to avoid another bounce statistic.

Daisy's Quote:

I have found that the longer and more complicated a post is, the less likely it is to get comments. I think you are right, too, that a punchy title is important. Sometimes we don't spend enough time on that.

Kamila has been thinking about how long should apost be with this comment then it suddenly occured to her that is was obvious. 200 words must be the optimum length of a post to gain maximum affect in pulling power after title and picture to spark up interest.

And how did Kamila decide that his was tha case? Simple she sought professional advise and who esle better to go to that advertisers and marketing folk.

Having been rejected from Pay Per Post she noticed that most advertisers ask for a post to be 200 words in length. This can therefore be taken as gospel as the most apt length after all they have done all the research to find the peaks of advertsing success.

So around 200 words are what bloggers should aim for, mind you most do in Paid Posts anyway so it is a good habit to get into.

Own Weblog Domain? - Yes Or No?

Carrying on using the free blogspot or whether to get her own domain is in Kamila’s mind right now. There is a dilemma in her mind and she has to weigh up the reasons for and the reasons against to make take or not take that step.

Kamila is a camel blogger who is wising up slowly, but right at this moment in time she doesn’t really know that much about blogging and SEO. She is on a steep learning curve and has made quite a few mistakes to date, but has learnt from them.

Getting her own domain should have been done when she first started blogging, but she didn’t know this at the time. A cost of around $10 a year is all it would have cost, but it would have given her more pay per post jobs wither own domain and paid that after just a couple of posts.

Changing to her own domain now can be done at the click of a mouse but she will start off again with a PR0 and all her links will have to start from scratch again. Fair do, all her traffic will be redirected to her new domain and her site will have more credibility with the shorter title.

“Mmmm,” we hear Kamila murmor as she ponders the thought of the work that will be needed to bring it back to the level where she stands right now.

Decisions are hard for Kamila as she seeks advice from other bloggers on this one.

“Any advice on this one would be gratefully received!” says Kamila.

Google Is Unfair To Bloggers That Want To Earn

Kamila has been doing some reading up and found that Google are not very fair to people and camels who want to earn a little money by blogging. There is an inherent problem with writing Pay Per Post articles. This has serious implications on blogs such is the system used and she is quite worried that Pay Per Post or similar systems could be a quick cash in but short lived.

Kamila knows that you need a Google Page Rank to get assignments, the higher the rank the more you are offered and the higher the fees paid. Now Kamila has worked hard to get a PR 2 but when Google sees that sponsors are paying her on her blog they take a dim view of this and assign a PR0 to your blog.

This is a big worry as with a PR0 there will be very little assignments all that work to get the PR2 in the first instance undone by a few posts that have been sponsored. So what can she do? Well there doesn’t seem to be and answer tot his and Kamila feels that Google are quite unfair to discriminate against bloggers that want to earn a little. It is a world of business anyway; Google should know that and Kamila feels that in the laws of supply and demand it should have a free hand. If someone takes offence with a sponsored post, then they don’t have to read that blog, surely it doesn’t need Google acting as ‘Big Brother’ to put a curfew on their PR.

Kamila being a camel that likes the desert, she doesn’t want to be sand boxed by Google fro simply trying to earn a few bucks, after all blogging is a form of work, why shouldn’t you get paid for it.

Kamila asks, “Does anyone out there know an answer to this problem?”

Kamila Decides On Pay Per Post

After yesterday’s Entrecard saga Kamila relaxed a bit and thought again about the money she earned form doing a sponsored post. It would take months to earn what she did on Entrecard and weeks on Adgitize. She enjoyed the 30 minutes it took to write the post and also had fun doing it so why not take on some more?

Pay Per Post seems to be the most constantly used sponsored post scheme used by bloggers when Kamila looked in forums giving advice. It isn’t the best payer, but it still rises head and shoulders against the passive earnings she is currently making.

So it was a busy Kamila applying for Pay Per Post, she hopes to get accepted, but she also knows that there will be less work offered without her own domain. She is kicking herself slightly as what she should have done was get this when first starting her blog.

Another wait is on then to see the result of her application.

“Happy Blogging” says Kamila.
