More Reasons to Hate PayPerPost

From the PPP forums:

Oh. My. God. Oh my god! I can’t believe this is happening. I NEED to earn money with my blogs, I’m going to have to take every single opp I qualify for every day in order to keep up with expenses.
When I looked at the 21 qualified, $5.00 opps, I actually had tears spring into my eyes. I don’t know what to do.

And:

I’m in the same boat. I have NO termite inspection scheduled right now, which means bloging (sic!) is supplying my only income. Hello? House note, utilities, gas, groceries, sick dog – all at inflated Hawaii rates. I’m holding on by my fingernails.

PPP’s “posties” are getting hit hard by the recent resetting of their PageRanks to zero.

As I pointed out early on in my previous posts about PPP, they attracted a lot of people who thought PPP would be an easy way to make money. Just like the a-holes who hawk work-from-home kits on daytime TV.

Now, a lot of these people have come to rely on PPP for an income and with Google killing those bloggers’ PageRank, they don’t qualify for any of the ‘ops’ anymore, because PPP advertisers will often restrict their ads to blogs with a certain PageRank (usually above 4). If they didn’t, what’s the link to their site worth after all?

Do I feel bad for PPP? No. Let them die a horrible death.

Do I feel bad for the posties? Sure. Many of them aren’t very technical and a lot of them probably never knew what PageRank was before they got suckered into this. Seemed like easy money at the time.

Only good thing: Maybe some of them might now pick up blogging for real – without shilling for advertisers…
