I just did a review of the 3 main paid blogging services too. Not with comparison charts or anything, but mine is from more of an advertiser’s perspective (it pretty much assumes that you don’t think going in that paid blogging is evil).

I’m interested in your thoughts:

@Beth,

I couldn’t have agreed with you more. ReviewMe gives you a value and somehow it sort of looks degrading when you’re on the last page of a certain category. (don’t think if you’re on the first means an advertiser will pay that price as well) PPP gives everybody an equal chance regardless of your “Alexa” rank or how many other sites link to you.

PPP is by far a better choice for smaller, lesser known blogs. Why? Because ReviewMe and others rely on advertisers to choose which blogs to advertise on- with PPP *I* have the ability to determine if an ad is appropriate. I’m not limited in my opportunities because I don’t receive 20,000 hits a day. And with ReviewMe using Technorati and Alexa to determine if a blog is worthy of acceptance- is a little shaky at best-neither service is stable, especially Technorati over the past year. As for the “PPP users are forced to write positive reviews,” issue- we aren’t. This is a misconception of the service. If an advertiser states a review MUST be positive- I simply do not take the opportunity. And, what a lot of us are finding- our blogs are gaining traffic, maybe it’s due to PPP opps, or, perhaps it’s due to the “blacklist” of bloggers, posted on a blog about a month ago. Face it- marketing is here to stay, whether we write, or insert code-there is no difference.

We’ve been discussing the whole per per post thing over at Quit Your Day Job and I think it’s a tough issue with a lot of people divided.

I am currently testing both web applications, but from what I know so far PPR is leading in my book.

I guess if you tell people that the post is a paid one. It won’t reflect on the blogger’s personality and all as he/she is paid to do something. Kinda artificial.

However, this is just what I think
