Claire's Random Thoughts

This post sponsored by PayPerPost v4.0

PayPerPost.com (definition in a nutshell) = How the starving blogger survives

A few of my posts in the past have been paid advertisements for merchants who hire bloggers to promote their sites and products through PayPerPost.com. Basically, advertisers pay you (bloggers) for exploring their sites and blogging about your opinion about them.

Now they have officially launched a new and improved version, known as PPV v4.0. Because this new version is still in alpha mode, users may still elect to log into the old version, if desired. And, of course, since v4.0 is still in alpha, there might be some bugs that cause abnormal functionality, so you may log onto version 3.0 if you encounter some of these. However, I have not found any problems thus far.

The new version, without a doubt, trumps the old version in simplicity and cleanliness without sacrificing functionality. There are only two essential tabs in the new version, opportunities and my account, and these are really all you need. In PayPerPost v4.0, there are still links under the primary “opportunities” and “my account” tabs that allow access to all the other pages available in the 5-tabbed version 3.

My favorite improvement, above interface improvements, is the new advertiser/blogger writing and payment policy. It used to be that bloggers would have to browse oppotunities themselves, pick a topic, and pray that the advertisers would even respond to written posts. This used to take up to a few months, if ever. Under the new policy, bloggers receive an email when a paid opportunity comes in and can either accept and complete within 3 days or decline the offer. Once submitted, advertisers only have 3 days to manually review your post, otherwise it is automatically reviewed. No more long periods of uncertainty in waiting for approvals! Because of this final improvement, I might start using PayPerPost more frequently in the future than other paid to blog services.
