"We do not accept community blogs- blogs with more than one contributor/author." http://payperpost.com/page/terms Sounds like those "high profile" blogs really get to bend the rules.

PPP already has something similar with the BubbleAd technology they released in February -- allowing sponsors to provide some content/links that are accessible by a hover over the in-post disclosure badge. This provides the best of both worlds: open blogger content and sponsor-provided content -- delivered within a transparent framework. Interesting idea.

I mean, isn't it up to the blogger? How is "insisting that there be a disclosure policy" or "requiring that reviews can be negative" any different from Big Brother in 1984? Surely you agree that it's about personal freedom and choice? Why hold the ad networks (e.g. PPP) responsible? Having said that, I will agree that the *best practice* for blogging is disclosure, but that's nothing to do with PPP and everything to do with just being straightforward with your readers. But is it a law? Is it a requirement? I certainly don't think so. Further, I think that Giz was out of line for posting private email, presumably without permission, and while it's trendy to be sarcastic in the blogosphere, I don't see that the email from Ted was so far out of line either. But maybe I'm just completely out of touch. That's possible too. :-) I’ve been blogging for years and still don’t really get the objection everyone has about this. I mean, isn’t it up to the blogger?
