Some good ideas, but I’ll challenge your one about blogs needing traffic.

That argument holds water if the primary reason for the sponsored / paid post is to create traffic and buzz. In fact, I suspect many PPP advertisers are using the service for SEO purposes, as they are essentially paying for inbound links — nice, organic, varied, organic links that Google loves.

Sure, we can debate over what Google might do in the future, but right now, there is no official policy on stuff like paid postings — and if there is (and I don’t think there is), I certainly haven’t heard about anyone getting penalized for it.

For blogs who are interested in doing the PPP thing, this is just one more means for them to let their readers (and potential) advertisers know that their posts are for sale.

What I meant is that with low traffic/inbound links, the blog might never be seen to be purchased.

But I do agree with your last comment that it’s a great way to advertise that your blog does paid posts.

Allen, one of these days we need to get lunch or something. Fyi, there’s an ATL Web Entrepreneurs meetup on June 21st: http://web.meetup.com/32/

Dude, we def. need to meetup but there is no hiccup, I am in NYC this year. So come up and we can go for a pastrami on rye or a real pizza (none of this Johnys NY crap) :)

Thanks for stopping by!
