I am seeing at least the dawn of understanding among those who were so quick to call us whores -- that's a good thing. As time goes on and the integrity of the system shows itself to be valid, I think the buzz will turn from positive to negative. I do think that the more PPPosties who disclose, the better. I see that as nothing but good for everyone. DnW Thanks Dan, and welcome to the blog.

Beyond demonstrating your quality, it highlights that the question is a personal one for each blogger to resolve with themself and their audience, not one that is PPP's to dictate. The blogosphere is a world of many channels, not one big channel. Just as cable TV or ham radio provide a ton of channels, with each conveying its own message/content/ethics, every blogger is a media channel that needs to make decisions that work for its authors, advertisers and audiences. Keep up the great blogging! nice post DnW!

And by the way, I’m up for collecting a few bucks on this one because I’m sick of making comments on the incredibly nasty blog posts that are written about PPP, so I’m going to write it here and let them pay me to take the time to explain this again. I’ve already explained my own approach to PayPerPost. Any post which I receive payment for is either tagged, categorized or has a declaration in the text that it is a paid post. And this is one. Consider it disclosed. [...] [...] Start here since you’re here already.

I do PayPerPost too (only I sold my soul for a lot more than $2. Heheh). But I always disclosed where I was taking money from. As long as you do too I don't have a problem with it. But, this isn't really about credibility. The reason I'd be hiring PayPerPost is to get a great Google PageRank. Ditto to what Mathew said.

That's what I was hoping PayPerPost would get all their bloggers to do, but they haven't.
