You may have noticed our sponsored posts scattered throughout this blog. We usually try to make an effort to let you know that they we are getting paid for them, and promote full disclosure. You can tell which ones are sponsored by the message at the end of the post. The reason we put advertising up on this blog is not to make a lot of cash, but to recoup some of the costs spent on maintaining this web site.

Today, this post is about our sponsor, [tag]PayPerPost[/tag]. They’re a company supporting blog marketing for high traffic and lower traffic blogs alike. We chose PayPerPost because of its friendly payment scheme. Unlike other blog marketing services such as [tag]ReviewMe[/tag], PayPerPost only takes 35% of the cut, so we get a little more income for our efforts. ReviewMe is said to have a 100% markup!

Back to PayPerPost. Its advantage comes from the fact that you don’t have to run a very popular blog with lots of readers to earn income. While larger blogs can earn more money (up to $1000 per post), smaller sites like us can get by with around $5, which makes it totally worth it.

Another important part of the PayPerPost service is the disclosure required. Unlike on television and movies, where product placement runs rampant, every sponsored post has to tell the reader that the writer is getting paid for the content. Look below this post; you’ll see what we mean.

We hope this clarifies some of the questions raised about advertising on this blog. Like we said, maintaining a web site isn’t free, and PayPerPost helps us out a bit with the costs. If you run a blog yourself, why not consider signing up with them? We get a small cut if you sign up by clicking on the little button that says “Get Paid to Review My Post” below.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
