What We Are Up Against With PayPerPost
I found this interesting post on the PayPerPost forum. Looks like twomomsinablog.com is his/her main PPP blog. None of the posts are disclosed, of course.
Just check out that list at the end. Basically, the blogger is saying: Fuck those people who don’t like the PPP, those idiots who come to my site would never know anyway cause they are coming in from a Google search and don’t know anything about my blog. And my regular readers are also too stupid to know. Only thing I care about: search engine ranking.
If you check out the site, have a look at the Camtasia ‘Product Review.‘ It mentions somethink called PPP, but without a link, so that the reader’s would never know what it is – yet he/she can pretend the relationship is disclosed. The other posts on the site don’t even have that amount of disclosure, though. Samurai sword for Christmas anybody?

First the google thing – this is the “anit-ppp” guys way of scarying us. There are MANY bloggers out there who post affiliate links in all their posts – basically just what we do – and as long as the content is original, it doesn’t hurt rankings. Google has never cared about affiliate style links in blogs before – and they aren’t about to change that just because some big-name bloggers say so, lol.
As for the “Boycott” sites – I am on a few as well and this is my thoughts:
1. Adds more incoming links, raising my rankings
2. Chances of ANY of my regular readers finding or even caring about those lists are slim to none
3. 75% of my traffic comes from people searching for specific parenting or wedding related keywords and those lists are not going to change that:)The first time I found one, I thanked the blogger for the free link to my site – the rest I just ignored.
