[...] how it works and how to set it up. It doesn’t ruin the look of the blog so it is left up. Some may say Google AdSense is just as bad as or worse than PayPerPost, but the difference between AdSense and PayPerPost is that I choose to blog about whatever topics I [...]

In fact, here are the criteria used for each and every post:

1. Have I actually investigated the product, site, link, information personally? The answer must be yes.
2. Would the product, site, link or information be of interest to people interested in this blog? The answer must be yes.
3. Would I write this post even if I were not paid, and would I write it in the same voice and tone? The answer must be yes.
4. Do I believe that readers and visitors might benefit in some way from what I’m writing about? The answer to that must at least be a strong “maybe”. Benefitting might be learning, discovering, or helping solve a specific problem.

If I cannot answer all three of the first three questions in the affirmative, I will not link or post it on this blog.

Every post I wrote was within those guidelines. In fact, I still use Zookoda, I did buy a phone from Wirefly, and I’m still a member of the Photography Forum that I wrote about.

Next time you accuse someone of being a whore you might want to do your homework first.

Fratman, you are 100 percent wrong on that score. I never wrote anything that I didn’t believe in personally. You can visit my blog principles page for the criteria I used for choosing and writing posts. Iwasn’t going to sell my soul or anything else for a few bucks.

So “in the past” but “not now” you wrote some opinions on your blog. But they weren’t actually *your* opinions, even though you blogged them. They were opinions you were *paid* to have.

Sounds like the “date rape” metaphor isn’t as applicable as another one that comes to mind.

Thanks to you all for the diggs and stumbles.

@Techie, the metaphor holds to anyone who relied on that ranking to earn some decent money with paid blogging. The issue is control, and who should have it.
