Maybe I’ll do some paid posts here
I’ve been thinking about doing some blogging for pay on this blog. Not necessarily for the money, but committing to blogging for money seems to encourage me to write non-sponsored posts as well.
I just need to find a company that’s a good fit for me. I don’t think I’ll be doing any writing for the one I used to write for. Gosh, I just logged in there and saw that when I was writing for them, I took 548 ops from them. Haven’t taken any since last year though. I don’t like the way the company treats the bloggers, they seem to throw the bloggers under the bus with careless impunity.
For example, although I haven’t taken any ops since October 07, one of their advertisers banned me in MAY because I removed a post. So, this means I gave this guy over six months of link juice, yet he banned me because I got rid of the paid post after having it on my blog for months. Btw, I don’t even remember which post I deleted, I haven’t removed a lot of paid posts, mostly because I’d rather not deal with cleaning up all 548 of them.
Instead of committing to blogging for pay, maybe I’ll commit to removing all the 548 paid posts I did for the company I’d rather not mention. I find it ridiculous that they don’t seem to do anything to safeguard their bloggers, yet the owner of the company claims to love everyone. Sorry Ted, if you love the bloggers, then stand up for them and don’t let the advertisers walk all over them.

I am with you on this and maybe I know which company you are talking about. Anyway, after I lost my pagerank I was very upset. I wasn´t getting any job. One company (Payu2blog) didn´t stop sending me jobs, no matter my PR.
Now for some weird reason I am getting more jobs from all over the places. Not from all companies though. There is one of them that was at the center of a battle against Google and now I hardly can take any job there.
Don´t stop doing paid posts. Even if you get only five dollars it is enough to pay the server.
