Pay Per Post, pretty stupid?
Recently I applied to Pay Per Post. It seemed like a good idea at the time, I’m a reasonably good writer, and I figured I could make a few extra dollars per month. Anyway, I got their ‘rejection’ letter this morning, but it makes little sense to me.
This is a notification to let you know that your blog, Mathew Packer, has been rejected for the following reason(s):

Let’s break this down, and see if I can make sense of this.
- Blog must be over 90 days old. My first entry was on the 24th of January 2007, which is well and truly over 90 days ago.
- Must have 20 pre-existing posts. I have just a shade over 100 posts on my blog, again this is well over the 20 post requirement.
Their decision makes little to no sense to me, however I’m thinking it’s probably for the best as I’ve heard of people losing their Page Rank and seeing as I’ve just been allocated a PR3 I’d hate to drop back down as I’ve seen a little upturn in traffic since I received it.
Anyway, to those of you who have considered Pay Per Post my suggestion would be to avoid it unless you have a PR0 or are really struggling to come up with your own content to write about.
